There are two main methods to transfer your own videos onto the ARCHOS:
• Synchronize your videos with Windows Media® Player 10 or 11
This method requires your ARCHOS USB connection to operate in ‘Windows Media Device’ mode (see: System Settings). Windows Media® Player 10 or 11 will copy the videos you have selected directly into the Video folder of the ARCHOS.
•Copy and Paste your video files from your computer into the Video folder of your ARCHOS (see: Computer Connection for details on how to connect your ARCHOS device to your computer).

•If you don’t want to use Windows Media® Player 10 or 11, a search on the Internet should allow you to find suitable utility programs to do this job.
