Archos 5/7 as movie player: If I want to load my DVD movie collection onto an Archos, what program do I use?
28347
The question raised by Robert Jordan is also of interest to me. How can one transfer DVDs to Archos 7? What problems are we likely to encounter and how should we resolve them? What is the best software to load DVDs and Blu ray disks? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

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.

You need to use an external USB DVD player. It is a great computer. Boots almost instantly. Very fast and powerful.

Handbrake. Seriously, it's the only thing you'll ever need to convert DVD's - and best of all it's free. You'll have to rip the movie from the DVD first (assuming it's copyrighted).

I looked around on the internet for a good program to transfer DVDs to mpeg4 format to put movies on my iPod. I found Apollo DVD to iPod was a great program, but it cost me $34.95 to unlock the full program and use it to its fullest potential.

Corel Win DVD pro supports Blu Ray PB and windows 8 and is what I use. VLC DOES work BUT requires some modification & only plays the main movie (I also have used it).As for Authoring.... I would recommend goggling it. I am still working on that I am evaluating some different software at this time. I CAN say that it burns disks of ALL formats well.

Did you try turing on the DVDO, first ? Then turn on the rest in sequence - (1) DVDO (2) Projector (3) AV-Receiver (4) DVD Player... Something like that?

If I had to do it over again, I would not have purchased my Archos 7 but instead a mini computer. The Archos has to many things it will not do. You cannot download many plugins from websites to be allowed to watch media from these sites like a computer. If you are considering a Archos 7 then I would consider any of the minis on the market.

I can't seem to play DVD's. I load it and I just get a list of files. Do I have to install a media player?

none that i know of; this item seems only to allow games and videos/movies in MP4 and maybe wmv. also pictures but won't except emulators or any apps i tried to load. U can get free games from CoolRoms.com u might have to change some to bin (binary format) Item does only what is advertised(MAYBE!) buyer beware!

You will have to buy third-party software, but you can easily copy DVDs to any Archos product (or I-Pod) using instructions at http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_do_i_copy_a_dvd_onto_my_archos_av700.html I've tried it with over a dozen DVDs (movies, TV shows, etc) and never had a problem.

That depends on how you want to do it. If you want to watch a dvd with a player and record it to the archos while watching then you will need the docking station. If you want to convert the dvd to .mp4 or wmv then transfer it to the archos then you don't need the docking station. I use xilisoft dvd ripper platinum, but it costs $45 bucks. There is free software than can do this, but it is difficult to use and much slower. I can rip a dvd and put it on my psp in about 35 minutes (this depends on your pc). When I get my 705 it will be the about the same or a little slower since it is hard drive and not flash. However, I can only store 4 gb on my psp and it is way lower res and screen size then the 705.

So how do I get my games, clipart, and even movies that are on CD or DVD onto this little thing?

as far as I know the VRDMC6 has an SD card slot and from it you can make the transfer to DVD.
