Hey all! I'm new here, but I was wondering if you could help me with my problem. I know there are tons of resources out there for this stuff, but it is too confusing for me. I am a computer geek, but not a video conversion geek. I barely know anything about video conversion (I know the formats and more, etc. but that's it). I have an Archos DVR 700 100GB DVR. I have tons of downloaded movies. I put all the AVIs on my DVR, only to find that SOME worked and others didn't (one had video but no audio). I tried to find a similarity in the ones that worked, but I couldn't find anything....it all seems random. Anyway, I know that you can only put on AVIs and I believe WMV (not sure) and MPG4s. Is AVI and MPG4 different, or is MPG4 an audio style for AVI??? Also, is there any program out there (or method) that I can use THAT IS FREE (I have no money) that IS NOT CONFUSING, will give me excellent video quality, and is easy to use? Please, I want this to be successful...thank you for your time! Carl
Try clonedvd's Mobile video converter, i've heard its great at encoding video to mobile-like devices such as, sony psp, ipod etc.. maybe yours is included? Archos should be, after all a lot of divx/players come from Archos? http://www.free-codecs.com/download/CloneDVD_Mobile.htm
