How can I make my ARCHOS become compatible with MPEG-2/VOB,
H.264 and AAC formats?
You need to purchase optional software
plug-ins and install them on your
device.
These plug-ins are available here on our
Website.
You will find the 2 following plug-ins :
- Cinema plug-in to play MPEG-2 and
VOB video files, as well as AC3 audio
files (5.1 sound),
- Video podcast plug-in to play H.264
video files, as well as non protected
ACC audio files.
I cannot play files (WMV, WMA and MPEG-4) even though these formats
are supposed to be supported by the ARCHOS.
There could be different reasons for
this:
The file you are trying to play may be
corrupted.
Try playing it on another ARCHOS
device or a computer to see if it plays.
If you have changed the extension of a
file, for example by renaming it from
basketball.vob to basketball.avi, this
does not change its format and it still
will not play.
Some WMV or WMA files are
purposely copy-protected so that you
cannot play them.
If video resolution is too high, it may
not be able to play. The ARCHOS plays
video files up to 720x586 in dimension.
If the video file is WMV, it may not
necessarily be WMV9.
The ARCHOS does not play the following
files:
- those encoded in WMV7 and WMV8
which are common WMV types,
- WMA audio files that are of type ‘Pro’
or ‘Lossless’.
