Re: Tool to verify the Video file formats for Archos

Like scan a folder of video files and come back with a simple report of which ones can be moved directly on to the Archos and which ones need to be converted. this is exactly what iam loo...

Re: Tool to verify the Video file formats for Archos
http://goo.gl/24Az I think that covers most of it, the only exception would be the h.264 compatibility, but there's already several threads on this topic, so I would suggest looking there I don't understand why you just routed me to Archos specs page. I know the formats it plays. I have lot of vide...

Tool to verify the Video file formats for Archos
Hi, I have many old videos that i wanted to transfer to Archos. But the problem is the compatibility. Archos doesn't play some versions of formats like WMP7 or 8, x.264 some profiles . Even when i try to convert the files i miss some. Its very annoying to see the message on Archos that the file is n...

Re: TUT: GUY FAWKES HACK WITH NO DVR STATION -HOW TO!
Ya know, I ran into the same problem, only a different way. I downgraded to 1.6.54, then installed the patch successfully, then upgraded to 1.7.11. Rebooted and still had root, with all the goodies. I decided to roll back to 1.6.53 (dropping the patched fw into archos root) with the pre-patched fw ...

Re: TUT: GUY FAWKES HACK WITH NO DVR STATION -HOW TO!
Someone correct me if Im wrong: Get into your recovery mode (power + Vol. Up), and choose Repair (vol. up/down to move cursor, power to select). Connect your archos to your PC and copy the firmware you wish to install to the root of the archos ( latest firmware is here >> http://www.archos.com/supp...

Re: URGENT HELP: Buy Cheap DVR station for Archos 5
nothing comes for cheap from Archos. Only option i can think about is a refurbished DVR station from Archos itself.
Check this https://store.archos.com/refurb.php regularly. You can be lucky some times. Don't expect it to be too cheaper.. it will around 55$ to 75$.
Good luck.
