Archos forum / Av700 Mencoder Settings

« on: September 18, 2006, 01:57:51 pm »

Thanks for the tip. I'll look at avsforums.

I've recorded from a VHS tape to the Archos and got a .avi file that plays on anything and used mencoder with the standard settings for the Zaurus found on this forum to get a file that plays well on the Zaurus. Is .ts files what you get when recording a DVD? In that case they have DRM and mencoder alone won't remove that. I don't think the Archos is a practical way of ripping DVDs.

PS I have just decided to give up on moving between different media types and stick to the Archos for TV, my DVD for FVD's and the Media Player for storage.

What settings should I use with mencoder to convert videos to play on the AV700? I've been using mencoder to convert videos for the Zaurus but they don't look so good on the Archos.

Thanks

I can not help but you might look at www.avsforums.com

I have an issue trying to go the other way - from the .ts files on the Archos to mpeg or avi files. I have not found anything easy yet.

Archos forum / Av700 Tv + Film Four

« on: September 17, 2006, 12:41:18 pm »

Does anyone else have a problem with Film Four. For some reason my Archos AV700 TV does not pick it up when scanning for channels even though my home freeview box does.

I also do not get Film Four. I presume that they will update these through the firmware every so often. I am also surprised that they have not set up the audio DAB radio channels that you get on freeview . It should be easy.

I have just got my AV700 TV (in the UK) and have filled it up with digital TV films. The capacity seems to be only 20 hours, not the 35 as advertised. Thanks to everyone for the advice on here which I will use as I experiment with the 700. I now know that I need a big external HD and also maybe a (little !!) Lacie 100GB to store files.
