Archos forum / Av700

« on: December 29, 2005, 07:12:55 am »

Hi headhunter994, if you're trying to record a higher resolution DVD movie to be viewed on the AV 700, my advice is you won't get much improvement as the resolution is restricted to the LCD display of the player.

If you compare the LCD display in terms of pixels counts of the AV 700 to the AV 500, they are almost similiar but AV 500 surpasses in image quality due to it's smaller LCD display.

7" LCD 480x234 pixels, 262 000 colours
4" LCD 480x272 pixels, 262 000 colours

Thanks for the advice :)

Headhunter994, just got an Av700 and am looking to store some films for travelling. There seem to be lots of options (e.g. buying software to rip from dvd to AVI to compress). I wondered how you had got on with playing straight from the player ? Only issue there appears to be size of file (5GB+) ??

Thanks,
Simon

I have found that if I intend to watch my DVD copy on a TV through the AV700 then the highest res should be used for the copy from DVD to the AV700. If you only intend to view it on the 7in screen of the AV700 then it dosn't matter

Archos forum / Av 700 File Renaming

« on: December 29, 2005, 07:01:58 am »

Hi,

I have just bought the AV700 - it is awesome.  However, the manual and Archos helpdesk are totally useless.  I want to rename my video files. I know it can be done on the Archos itself but this is tedious. Is there a way to rename files using my PC (operating with XP) with the Archos connected vis USB or by copying files to my PC, renaming it and then transfering it back?

Advise will be greatly appreciated.

Yes you can, access the video files by clicking "my computer" then "AV700" then "Video" on the PC. Find the video you want to rename and rt click "rename"

Dear Forum, I have just purchased the Archos AV 700 mobile  DVR and find everything okay, until I transfer recorded programs from my Media Centre XP 2005 to the 700. The files transfer but Archos does not recognise the file types. I am a non-tech. person. is there anything I can do to convert the files or some software I can purchase ? Any replies please in straight forward speak. Any suggestions gratefully received. Merry Christmas all. Regds jc. UK Time 12 45 am.

Try downloading divX and passing the files through it to convert them - might work -won't hurt.
