Rip the dvd you want to put on it using dvdshrink and save as a single vob file. Rename the vob with the title of the movie, drag to archos, will play just fine. You can adjust the qualit/ size of the file with dvdshrink's compression settings if you use the archos in hd mode and have the cinema plugin.

I did a full format, downloaded the firmware to my pc, dragged it to the archos root dir. and rebooted the archos, it will install the fware itself, and whaddya know, the plugins are all still there. zhani could be your charger, if you have a portable charger with a usb socket (can be used for anything to charge via usb) then try that, (i hghly recoomend this type of charger as it can be used for charging anything that charges via usb, zune, blackberry, archos etc) and use the usb cable for the archos with the dc in on one end one more thing, i know it states you lose licences if you format, but you dont.

No blinking red light at all, no charge . Frustrating Tried to change office to verify my connection without success. I'm using it every day during transport (2 hours) and during flight (twice a week 2 hours) and at hotel. I do not trust : " battery must not be recharged often" What is failing?

regarding the web browser – does it recognize wifi signals easily? how is the page loading speed? have you found that it’s compatible with most flash-enabled websites? is it true that you can listen to a playlist while browsing the internet? is there a text / notepad program included?

great review (and follow-up) – it’s great to see someone commenting on real-world usage as opposed to just quoting the listed specs.

The plugins which install after you sign up have nothing to do with video and audio. What kind of files are u running? If the videos contain AC3 video for example u need to either convert or download the plugin that plays ac3 audio. If the movie u r playing is in HD u also need to download the proper plugin. I got 3 plugins that basically allow me to play everything for like 30 pounds from the uk website. Hey Tee, it plays nearly all the formats.
