Archos forum / Av500: Couple Of Questions

« on: December 07, 2006, 09:51:30 pm »

You are welcome to the link.

About Q1, I have done hours of web search and find that for the archos only those called Gen4 have a lot of activity for plugins etc.  I have heard the AV500 spoken of as an "abandoned" model replaced by the 504.

About Q3, I imagine a loose electronics connection can easily get repaired at an electronics shop.  I would not depend on the original manufacturer due to very likely high cost.  If your device has a mechanical problem easily fixed with solder, why not try?  Unless you have the warranty on this still active, of course.  

Best of luck.

Archos forum / How To Make Av500 .avi Files From Imovie?

« on: December 07, 2006, 12:10:42 am »

Hello.  Can I try to help?  (By no means an expert and very new to all this.)  I would use Lathe to create the avi file.  Of if you already have an avi file, open Lathe and select your avi and re-encode it.   If you don't want to pay for Lathe to test to see if it works, maybe try the prior free version called PocketDivxEncoder (I never tried this one, as it seemed to have more steps and I wanted a one-click process).

Just my suggestion.  If I could get your sample file I'd try it for you and see that it works on my AV500.

Good luck.

 I recall changing my display through Settings.  If I remember my Av500 originally had Data, Info and System, as well as Pictures, Playlists, System, Video.  The latter had what looked like image or background files.  

My current list shows:
Data
Info
Music
Pictures
Playlists
Recycled
Spoken
System
Video

I created Spoken folder for my lecture notes, and I created subfolders in Pictures, Video, etc.

Somewhere on the Archos site you can download the original folder contents.  Have a look.  If I find it in next few minutes, will post it here.

Just found it at ftp://support.archos.com/AV500/

Data (this has fonts and manuals)
Info
Music
Pictures
Playlists
System (this has jpgs)
