They have a trial version of a software you may want to try other than getting the video direct from the dvd. Its called DVD to ANCHORS, never tried it my self but its worth a shot. Maybe you will get better results. Here is the link to the website http://www.soft29.com/dvd_to_archos.html

You need to convert the DVD into AVI format. There are multiple programs out there that do this. Be prepared for long conversion times unless you have a powerful computer.

without the video podcast plugin you can only use wmv and avi formats if you have the plugin then mp4 quicktime and ipod video should work.. Following lisks are for free Archos games and movies. Movies actualy for psp but as i said if you have plugin they shoul work or you can convert them to avi or wmv

1st of all, your Archos needs to be set to PC Hard Drive mode in the settings. Then when you plug it into your pc, it will just show as a new drive. You can then simply drag and drop movies, music, flash games, files etc. The Archos accepts avi files with mp3 sound, however if you purchase the package which allows you to watch DVD's onthe Archos, then you also have a whole load of codec's which means it accepts Real Player files, Dolby Surround sound, you can copy 4.7 gb dvd's straight to it and much more.
Hi there, got the same problem too - have tried to put the cinema and podcast add ons to no effect, re ripping dvd didnt help either. if you get any solutions can you email me on [email protected] its driving me mad!
I dont like it to use Windows media player and to synchronise.
In Settings -> System you need to set USB on 'PC Hard Drive'
Then you can use My Computer to find the Movies, just copy and past them in Archos -> Video map. Notice that Archos can't play any movie, you need special extensions.
I kow 1 exension, I convert my movies always in that 1 so Archos can read the movie: AVI MPEG4
There are more, but I need to find out.
Anyway, good luck trying to 'install' video's on Archos and also watch them ;)
Download Magic Video Converter from www.isohunt.com and change the video to WMP Standard 8. You don't need 1.25 GB vids for the archos, it's too high a quality for such a small screen.
hi there once you conect your archos to the computer and you`ve opened your music file it`s just a case of drag n drop them into it(easy) as long as there mp3 format (if not but you can change your itune`s to convert them into mp3 format)as for films archos have some software you can buy to convert to the right format(i use :1 click dvd to divx avi :, :movie 2 mem card: . software) you can download it free from u torrent, your`ll have to read how to work it tho, and it couldbe a bit tricky for a tech idiot (as you put it) good luck.
1. Connect the archos to the TV ( using the 3 leads red/yellow/white into the TV or DVD player) and the other end of the lad, a single jack into the back of the archos mini set-top box. Plug the single jack into the "RV Output".
2. Then start playing a movie on the archos.
3. Then press down on the flat silver button on the top of the archos device. Your screen should turn black/blank. This means your sending your movie to your TV.
4. Tune your TV to find the Archos movie in the same way you would tune your TV to find another pay TV set-top box ( like cable TV or Satelite). Problem solved.
You can use the same steps to send archos music to your steroe. Just plug the audio leads (white & red) into your stereo instead of your TV.
I was only able to load about 20 vidioes before I get e disk error message is this normal.
