Hi all,
I am one step away from purchasing the Archos AV480 and i was
wondering if it has the ability to read and play the subtitle files.
I have in mind the way Windows Media Player (and many others as well)
works. If you have the video file and the subtitles file (e.g. .srt, .ssa etc) in the same directory and with the same filename then the player reads automatically the contents of the subs file and displays them.
Does the corresponding video player of the Archos AV480 have the ability to do the same?
Of course i'm not talking about the case where the subtitles are embedded in the movie file.
Thanx in advance,
Aiolos.

So you mean that it does not support external subtitle files at all?
Too bad news for me :(

I don't know of a way to show subs from another file. You need to integrate them first on the computer....

If I understood you question correctly then you simply turn on your Archos and your computer, plug in the USB cable. Once your computer has recognized you Archos (Win2000/XP do this automatically win98 needs drivers) you simply copy the file you created from your compter and paste it into the Video directory of your Archos. That's all.
Enjoy

Help requested from an audio-sync guru
Hi all. I've been trying to shrink and make portable a couple of neat DivX movies from approx 780 Mb - big screen resolution to 320 x n .. approx 400 Mb just right for the Archos screen (why waste space).
First problem. One of the DivX movies was not playable on my Archos right away.. I had to pass it through Dr. DivX.
After I did this, the movie was playable but the audio sync went worse and worse as the movie played on.
I tried to resync it with virtual dub but failed to get a decent result. If the movie is in sync at the beginning it gets terribly out of sync afer a while (I'm talking about seconds!).
Is there a fast & easy way to do this or is it out of the question?
Any help will be appreciated
Thank you all

hi, to make things work better go and update your firmware to the latest version, that solved most of the audio problems I had.

Try using DVDDecrypter and AutoGK (http://www.autogk.net/) together. Works great for getting a DVD into an AVI file ready for the av420, and it is easy too.

There is an easy way of ripping DVDs to av400
Connect the av400 to the TV,make sure it is a older tv... , then connect the DVD player to the tv...
turn DVD on and switch to proper video input, turn on the av400 and record the TV output...
it does not copy the actual DVD, but the output images instead...
using this process I was able to record, watch and display movies. Like I recorded the Matrix Revolutions from the DVD, then I could watch it on my TV. This works with all the movies I have recorded...

I use the pocket divx recorder for converting all my files which aren't VOB it's superb. There are no settings to mess around with, it does it all for you. I have achieved better results from this than from Dr.Divx. Sometimes videos are out of sync but i put that down to where i download them from and what that person used to rip them and how many times they have been converted before i got to them.

Hi all, great advice, used this forum before my purchase of the AV440 and movies etc are playing fine. What would be useful is any info on the best encoding using AutoGK. Eg. step 3 select output size is a predifined size i.e 2 cd's generally better than selecting custom size or target quality. In advanced setting Output resolution setting is it best to select a fixed width or maximum width to correspond to the compatibility of the Archos player? and if so which is the best width to select based on users experience. In the ctrl-F9 features are any of the hidden features really useful?
Any info would be great.
Cheers - Nash.

Hello everybody,
I am a new owner of an Archos av480 and I was very happy with my video recorder until a recent firmware upgrade to (ver. 3.1.00). Since I have installed the new firware, I cannot have proper video images from an outside video source like a VCR or a TV tuner . I have good sound coming from the Video source but the lcd screen shows distortionned and colored horizontals lines . Something is wrong with the resolution and I have tried to fix it with the screen setup but nothing. If someone knows what to do to fix that , please contact me at koolverine@softhome.net. My archos is an AV480 and the Tv system here in CANADA is NTSC.
Thanks in advance for your help
Kathe.

Hi all,
one silly question.. I'm trying to convert my DVD, DVX collection into something small and decent enough for my Archos AV 420
I wouldn't want to proceed to direct recording (play the file or the disc and record directly 'cause it takes too long and it means I have to look at all the movies :))
One question.. how come a DivX file that looks great on my computer simply does not play on my Archos AV400. Isn't the Archos supposed to support the DivX format? (ps I found the DivX file on the net)
I tried to solve the problem by recoding the DivX file with virtual dub but the result was terrible (the whole thing went out of synch) so I tried to recode it with Dr DivX... same result.
I tried resynching the movie but I'm not great at that and made things even worse.
Moreover, reading through the forum I discovered that Dr.DivX can't be used as a ripper (that's very sad 'cause I had in mind to use just that to rip my DVD and encode the files just right for my portable.. file size more or less 400 Megabytes)
Any idea why all this happens and how to solve the problem?
p.s. I recently discovered, alas, that the movie format produced by my Archos AV400 is NOT DivX.
I bought a pretty DivX DVD player, burned a CD full of my Archos movies only to discover the .AVI format the Archos produces is not supported :(
It is always possible to recode the movies with Dr.DivX but it's a time wasting pain in the neck... I'm hoping the Archos guys will eventually release a firmware upgrade to solve the problem
Thanks in advance

Odraode - they probably won't play either cos the resolution of the video is too high or the audio is not mp3 VBR or CBR, Auto GK works best for me in advanced setting fixed width of 512 and 128 - 320kb/s mp3 cbr. The AutoGK FAQ's will answer all your questions. Oh for the record I have the AV440
Also if I have an Xvid file or DivX with AC3 I find it best to convert to DVD (30mins)then convert back to DivX to prevent out of sync problems I get when trying to convert directly from Xvid to DivX. My AV440 does not like Xvid therefore I only encode in DivX.
I had TV series converted to Xvid(before I purchased the Archos)then had to convert the lot to DivX :-(
