1.4 Putting videos onto your ARCHOSdevice

There are two main methods to transfer your own videos onto the ARCHOS:

Synchronize your videos with Windows Media® Player 10

®This method requires your ARCHOS’s USB connection to operate in ‘Windows Media Device’ mode (see: System Settings). Windows Media® Player 10 will copy the videos you have selected directly in 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 ARCHOSdevice to your computer).

PlaysForSureVideos & Protected Content

Your ARCHOSis a certified PlaysForSuredevice. This means that when- ever you download a protected video or music file from an Internet plat- form bearing the PlaysForSurelogo, you can be sure that it will play on your ARCHOSdevice.

Creating Compatible Video Files with Your Computer

If some of your videos don’t play on your ARCHOSdevice, you may need to trans- code them to a compatible format.

The easiest way to do this is by using Windows Media® Player 10 to transfer vid- eos to your ARCHOSin ‘Windows Media Device’ mode. Windows Media® Player 10 will automatically convert most formats to the WMV format that your device can play.

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