Thanks. I finally got it to work and was able to rip two of my favorite DVD's although it took a long time.

There's no included software to do it. The best way is the probably use SUPER, a collection of open-source and freely available tools to guide you through the process, then use Windows Media Player or the Creative software to send the ripped videos to your Zen.

I've had better luck with Fair Use than with iriverter. Might be because I'm converting TV shows, which have more than one episode on a DVD. iriverter would only recognize one (random) episode per DVD, while Fair Use recognizes all of them. I also found that, although the default converted file size using Fair Use is 700 MB, I can reduce that to 300-400 mb without noticeable loss of quality. Thanks to all the people who posted with info on DVD conversion!

http://iriverter.sourceforge.net/This is a free program, which is fairly simple. If you have trouble using the software, post a reply and I should be able to explain it.

This you use to digitize the video and you can use a DVD burning software to record multiple movies to one DVD. I think digitizing it is more helpful then put it directly to DVD. I never used the feature of putting it directly on DVD yet because I wanted to pick and chose what I wanted. Also if you want more than one movie on a DVD get larger capacity DVDs.

Can you give a computer novice who just bought a FS300 Caon instructions on how to upload onto the mac and burn onto a dvd? i have Mac 10.5.8 with imovie 8. thanks

you may have to delete one of the programs from the finalizing process! you may have noticed there are 2 ways to put stuff on the dvd, one way is more automated, the other lets you take more control. one you go from the program list and add them, the other you choose in settings to make a disc, that is the better way. best wishes

After reading over that page, I found that this does not support DVD menus. Hopefully this functionality will be added sooner rather than later.How difficult is it to switch between two video output sources if you are unable to see the menus?

I use the Creative software, some people don't like it, but it gets the job done and its very simple. You can also just drag and drop your music files into the Zen's hard drive, or you can use Windows Media Player or Media Monkey to both manage your music library and transfer the songs to your player.

Getting videos out of a DVR is beyond me. I rip my own DVDs with mplayer / mencoder and put them on my zen. mencoder is a command line tool for linux. it seems really daunting, but once you've figured it out and set up an alias or two for it, it's just a few short keystrokes away from ripping a dvd into a .avi file you can play on the zen.

I want to purchase this item. Is there any update to this issue? I have .img files I would like to upload into this memory. Does anyone know if it is an issue?

Thanks Victor for the info. i am trying to burn the 1080p content onto DVD-R to see if PS3 can play. It turns out it does see the files and plays them but the audio is choppy. i tried cooying the file directly onto the PS3 Harddrive, even then the audio is choppy...the video is playing well though. any thoughts on how to make the audio better ?

Help! What is the best editing software for a PC? I ordered this camcorder after reading the grand reviews- but I am a music teacher who uses imovie and idvd on a Mac at school. I have a Dell PC at home. What should I get to make awsome DVD's combining photos, video and music? I am very upset at the cost and difficult editing.

Try dvdfab you can try it for 30 days just select dvd to mobile and choices of mobile devices are shown. then select either the zune device or the pvp, either works good on archos. Usually after you've selected a device it starts to set everything up for you. Just make sure you uncheck english in the subpicture area, that should be on your right you don't need that to be checked. With this program you need to download the dvd onto your computer then drag and drop it into the video folder on the archos. If you go to that folder you'll see the type of video is acceptable such as wmv, wma or avi to name a few. If you look up your archos info that will tell you too. If you haven't received help by now I hope this helps you. Remember if you don't want the movies on your computer permanently you can always delete after dragging and dropping into you archos video folder. The time for the movie to your computer depends on your computer, however 2-1.2 hours or a little over that is usually the norm. If you've found something easier please feel free to share.

Hey, I had the same problem getting DVDs onto my Vision. What you need are two programs that work with one another. AnyDVD and CloneDVDMobile. Do a Google search for them. AnyDVD actively disables the Copyright-protection on "any DVD" and CloneDVDMobile lets you choose what model MP3 player you have, what size you want to make the video, and what chapters off the DVD you want to convert. They give you a trial period that lasts about 20 days, so you'll have plenty of time. Check it out! And about getting videos period. I've aquired all my videos from media sites like extremefunnyhumor.com, ebaumsworld.com, and killsometime.com. Those sites typically have a link to be able to save the video onto your hard drive.

THANK YOU! I was on this site looking for a replacement because mine would not turn on at all, and I was devastated--My Zen has been my constant companion for about 3 years . I came across your post and decided to try it. Whaddya know-- It came back to life! Thanks again! :)
