Title: Archos Av-500 100gb Problems
Post by: kgresko on December 26, 2005, 03:21:37 pm

I have an Archos AV-500 100 GB unit.  I also have a Windows Media Center PC that allows me to record TV shows to the hard drive.  The file format is DVR-MS which is a Microsoft proprietary file extension.  I use MYTVTOGO to convert the files to WMV format.  When I attempt to sync these recorded and converted shows to my Archos unit I see the file on the hard drive, but it will not launch and the error code that I get is "Cannot play video! Only WMV9 "simple profile" is supported"  

 Has anyone any idea what that error code means?  I have not contacted Archos support just yet.

Thanks in advance...........

I also had problems just syncing any files to the Archos. I usually have to convert them beforehand to AVI, then sync them.  Perhaps the auto-convert filter is not smart enough for major conversions.
