| 5 MANUAL V2.0 PLAYING VIDEO > P. 26 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 11 or higher to transfer videos to your ARCHOS. Windows Media® Player will automatically convert 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 other suitable utility programs. Playing 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. * There are other products (software) on the market that also can share media files using the UPnP standard. • 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). If you cannot install Windows Media® Player 11 or higher, it is possible to access and stream your PC's files from the ARCHOS File Browser. See Browsing Other Computers on the Network.
