Convert DVD to play in Archos

[Magnus]

I thinking to purchase an Archos. I have a collection of some DVDs which has family videos. And I want to load those on to the Archos. As I am aware that it is not going to work by simple copy / paste option. Does anyone know how to convert DVD so that I can view it on Archos. What tools will I need to get and what is the procedure to convert DVD.

I think that you will need to get a separate codec which will work in Archos. Well, Archos supports Mpeg4 format files. You need first to convert the file to mpeg4 format and then make them play on your mobo. Download Pocket DVD Studio. It is a easy to use and great tool to convert DVDs to the portable pocket pc format. It simple software will guide to rip your DVDs and add them to your archos.
