Got the 604 if thats any use nt

 

RE: Got the 604 if thats any use nt

Having issues. These issues fall into two catagories.</p>

1) Compatibility</p>

2) My ignorance.</p>

If you wouldn't mind, could you help me with the following:</p>

- When I record any video media I literally have to use the adapter and play it real time into the machine as if I was using it as an old fashioned video. This is because it refuses to play any video formats I transfer across on USB - for example WVMor MPEG. Am I doing something something wrong? What formats will thisbloody thing support and how do Itransfer my videos into that format? :'(</p>

- I videoed the whole of the BFC play-off final from Sky onto it - so I have that full match stuck on the AV 500. It is saved as an AVI file. When I transfer it across to my computer via USB it only plays the sound and not the picture. I'd love to get it on my PC so I can watch it, edit it and stuff.</p>

- How doI copy DVDsto a format that I can portacross to the AV 500?At the moment I have to play them in full on my DVD player plugged directly into the AV 500 There has to be an easier way! </p>

Any help would be appreciated. (worship) </p>

I have used it to play AVI and DivX films so far, not tried WMV or Mpeg, but there;s plenty of programmes out there to convert to Divx either individual mpegs or even ripping DVds to Avi (Divx) I have just dragged and dropped the films from the HD onto the Archos without any snags

Can't help you with the recording from TV as i havn't tried that part yet.

 

RE: Got the 604 if thats any use nt

Do you recommend any programmes to rip DVDs to AVI? Or convert MPEG to AVI? Many thanks for the help (worship)

I have it on my new PC and I have been told its the Dogs danglies,
Dont know tho` I have not used it yet.

I had the hard drive from my old pC added to this one and its dying now, sounds like an old record player. Going to have to remove it this weekend
