Problem With Video Playback

[sarteaga]

hi guys

i have a problem with my Archos AV500 100GB and maybe you guys have some suggestions. The problem is i have converted some of my DVDs to AVI files to play on the unit. there is no problem with the files and they play fine on the unit......... however, some films end early. its strange bcos the file will say the move is a certain length (on the PC AND on the unit) but when u select the file, the unit ends the video file early. For example i converted the first "lord of the rings" and it plays fine and it states that the file is "2:51" long but when u select the movie, it ends automatically at "2:34".

this is a strange problem as i have checked the file on the PC, and it plays all the way through.... and when i transfer the file to the unit, it says it is the same length and size but when u play the file it just cuts early. is there a file size limit or time limit to video files on the Archos? i dont think so, but then again i cant thinkwhy else this would be happening. any ideas would be great. thanks

Does it matter what the media length is? Long or short?

What codecs are these? Divx? WMV?

Do the sample movies that came with it have the same problem?

Are these movies you encoded?

How big is the LOTR file? and i assume those DVDs were converted on the PC?

Files can only be 2GB in size. When it reaches that limit, it will start a new file. Check for another movie.

this may very un tech--but if the recording exceeds 2gig (which can happen if recording above 500 a new file is created ---did you check for an additional file
