Truly jaw dropping portable video device. Truly!
Review of Archos AV 500 30GB by
alienrider
Advantages: Great LCD, Battery Life, Versatility, just an awesome device.
Disadvantages: Converting your DVD's for it can be technical.
...The Archos AV500 is a mobile DVR; Digital Video recorder. So what does that mean and why should you be interested? Hopefully this review will help you.
Lets start with a basic specification, the Archos AV50 comes in 3 sizes (yes 3 despite what Archos' own site indicates!) 30, 60 and 100GB. It can play Divx 5 and 6, as well as Xvid and Microsoft's PlayForSure video content. It can play WMA, MP3 and WAV files. It can record from a number of sources and it can playback to the TV as well and it understands both PAL and NTSC. It has a 4 inch screen of excellent quality for solo viewing, but because its viewing angle is excellent two people can comfortably watch the screen without both people having to meld their heads together!!! It can display photos's BMP and JPG (but not progressive JPG) and it can act as aUSB host for self powered...

Amazing portable Media Device
Review of Archos AV 500 30GB by
SamMcQueen
Advantages: Excellent device with many features. rock solid.
Disadvantages: Video compatability is an issue
...So what is the Archos AV500:
In short it is a DVR which stands for Digital Video Recorder and allows the user to record, view and store videos and pictures from an external device like your TV/computer. However the Av500 has many more great functions that I have found incredibly useful. Il talk more about these later.
Basic Features:
Record directly from your TV, VCR, DVD player, cable or satellite box. Make scheduled recordings. Store up to 130 hours of video, 85 movies, 15, 000 songs or 300, 000 photos. Transfer photos directly from your digital camera using the USB host port. Play MPEG-4 files. Play TV recorded shows, movies and home videos on a 4" color screen, your TV or any external screen.
Originally I did not set out just to buy a DVR but for a device I could use to record from a helmet camera I had been given...

The more useful MP4 player
Review of Archos AV 500 60GB by
Headdy
Advantages: High capacity; records from television with included accessories
Disadvantages: Unattractive design and interface
...This review is for the 80GB version with TV docking pod.
Looking for a practical upgrade for my Creative Zen Nano Plus MP3 player, I had a look around and decided on the Archos AV500. Capacity was the primary concern; I wanted to be able to store all (~40GB worth of) my music on there.
I'll admit, I kicked myself a little bit after making the purchase, because for half the price I could have had a Creative (can't remember the model name) MP4 player - I'd bought the AV500 for the top-end price from eBuyer. I would also have had a smaller solution, rather than the hard drive-based clunkiness of the AV500.
But the main selling point for the AV500 over the other MP4 player - and ESPECIALLY the iPod - was the ability to record directly from television.
First thing you'll notice is that the AV500 isn't the prettiest of MP4 players. I...

Review of Archos 105 by

Advantages: great sound n video performance
Disadvantages: size of storage
...CIAO Review on the Archos 105 - Colour: Silver 12/02/2008
Archos 105 2GB of Storage
Available RRP date - 06/2007
- Archos Introduction -
Archos was founded in 1988; originally it was a company dealing with only digital media storage; as the digital market grew so did trends into new technologies, and Archos became a well-known brand within this market. This was a natural progression. Archos got into portable media players (PMP) and specialised in storage data for entertainment in audio and video.
Archos now is a below market price retailler in portable technologies, the reason being is due to Archos not being such a marketable brand like Apple but still highly regarded. If, you are not aware of Archos; it is highly likely that you have been using an Archos product without your knowledge. For example, anyone who has been...

Archos AV480
Review of Archos AV4100 Pocket Video Recorder 100 GB by
sifrost66
Advantages: Amazing picture quality, easy to use software, attractive product and interface
Disadvantages: Long video conversion software, very expensive!
...I decided that I'd try and top my friends' new Ipods by buying a multimedia player. Looking at the market, the new Archos AV400 series easily came on top. They brought out two models, the AV420, the 20gb model, and the AV480, the 80gb model. Thinking of all the mps and films I intended to put on there, I decided to go to the 80gb model, added expensive, but definately worth it. All the software needed to convert files so they are compatable with the Archos come on the system, and are easy to install and use. I did find, though, that converting a full length film does take a few hours, which can be a bit of hassle.
The Archos comes with its own little docking station that allows you to connect it to a television. So if you don't have a computer, yo can record programs, dvds or videos straight from or via your television. Similarly you...
