Windows Media® Player 10 (or higher) 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 ARCHOS device to your computer). Creating Compatible Video Files with Your Computer If some of your videos don't play on your ARCHOS device, you may need to transcode 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 in 'Windows Media Device' mode. Windows Media® Player 10 (or higher) 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 (or higher), a search on the Internet should allow you to find suitable utility programs to do this job.
