2.Windows® explorer: Copy and paste your video files from your computer into the

Video folder of your ARCHOS.

To learn how to connect/disconnect the ARCHOS from your computer, see the Transferring Files section.

Creating Compatible Video Files with Your Computer

If some of your videos don’t play on your ARCHOS, you may need to convert them to a compatible format:

The easiest way to do this is by using Windows Media® Player 10 or higher to transfer videos to your ARCHOS. Windows Media® Player will automatically con- vert most formats to the WMV format that your device can play.

See your Windows Media® Player help instructions for more information.

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

If you would like to simply copy and paste unprotected DVD video files from your

PC onto your ARCHOS without converting them to WMV format, you can pur- chase the Cinema plug-in from the ARCHOS website (www.archos.com) or from the Media Club. The same is also true for video podcasts in the H.264 format. In this case, purchase the Video Podcast plug-in.

1.5Playing your pc’s shared videos (UPnP)

When connected to your home WiFi network, your ARCHOS gives you the possibility to watch, directly on your device, shared videos stored in your PC’s Windows Media® Library.

For this to work, you will need a WiFi connection and Windows Media® Player 11 or higher* installed on your PC.

The ARCHOS uses the UPnP (Universal Plug-and-play) standard to stream shared videos from your PC’s Windows Media® Library.

See: Playing your PC’s Shared Media Files (UPnP).

*There are other products (software) on the market that also can share media files using the UPnP standard.

1.6 watching web tv

In order to be able to watch numerous Internet TV channels, directly on your ARCHOS, you will need to register your device.
