Hi,
You may want to change the format of the movies. The player may be able to play .avi files but sometimes it will just not play and changing the format may alleviate the problem. Follow these steps: - Follow this link and download youtube downloader free of charge http://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-0.html?query=youtube+downloader&tag=srch&searchtype=downloads&filterName=platform%3DWindows&filter=platform%3DWindows - After you have downloaded and installed it please open it and go to convert a video you have already downloaded. - Select the movie you want to convert and then convert to .mp4 which should play with anything - Wait for it to convert and then drag it to your archos 5.

hello,

convert the movie first in a format that is compatible for playing on mobile devices. search the net for free video converters.

Hello Aristica,
There is No software download for the DVD plaer itself. Where you are going wrong is the Format ie avi that DVD player does not support it. You can Google free software to download which will allow you to convert you AVI file to something that the Dvd player will play:

DVD Video • VCD • SVCD • DVD-R • DVD-RW • DVD+R • DVD+RW • CD (Audio) • CD-R • CD-RW • Picture CD • Divx

so If you type in Google free Avi converter Then this will list several. You really want one that will convert to DIVX or VOB those will definately play on your DVD player.

I hope this has help you out. I tryed not to go into too much detail.

Cheers

There are tons of programs that will do this automaticly for you. You just load the file and select the output and start. Some are free, but those with more features will charge for the program. Try download.com and type avi to mpeg converter. You can also try videohelp.com. They have forums for assistance as well as software recomendations.

Oh I no what your doing wrong WMV is a Audio format not a movie format i suggest you get a converter off google and download it they are very easy to use and i also suggest you use AVI but im not too sure that it can read AVI but most converters show you if they are Audio or Movie so i hope you have fun and i hope i helpped you out BYE.

Using the converter "AVS Video Converter 6", converts virtually video format to any other format, I have, thru tial and error converted full length movies 3+GB .mpg to ~650MB .avi. It works great!

I use the settings:
Video:
Size: 320 x 240 pixels
Bit Rate: 1200kbps
Frame Rate: 25 frames/second
Aspect: Microsoft MPEG-4
Audio:
Bit Rate: 192 kbps
Channels: 2
Sample Rate: 44100 Hz
Audio Format: MP3

The program costs $59.00, but the free download is full (but with a logo - center screen). Test it out. If it's worth it to you, buy it.

your trying to download the movie wireless?

I use convert x to dvd, but i beleive all converters need to run movie to convert it, so i does take an hour to do it
