MP3 players: Question About Archos AV500
Question About Archos AV500
by wesmont - 1/21/06 11:10 AMIf anyone has a Archos AV500 DVR, I have a question for you.
Can the TV you record be removed from the Device and placed on your Hard drive? or an you only record onto the device. Also, hows the quality of the recorded TV??
Thanks for any help
Pretty much

just to clarify...

Archos 500 Recorded videos
by TMT904 - 1/29/08 8:31 AM In reply to: Question About Archos AV500 by wesmontIn my experience with my 500. Anything I recorded onto my 500 from whatever source was garbage unless I watched it on the unit. I do not recommend recording anything with any Archos for that matter unless you intend to watch it on the Archos. It is VHS quality at best. The DVR capabilities are just not made for archiving of video or playback on TV size screens. Whatever you are able to record onto your 500 can be transferred off to be viewed on your PC, etc. Same thing applies though, it doesn't look like much due to the res.
Hope this helps,
Joe
Its definitively watchable on a TV
by inflammable - 2/13/08 4:10 PM In reply to: Archos 500 Recorded videos by TMT904Actually I find the recordings pretty good for TV watching... It is 640X480 pixels of resolution... and I record it at 1500 kbps... so the files are around 800MB per hour...
On an old TV set the picture you will see is as good as if you were watching broadcast
Not HD but its very watchable on a TV... and you can try for up to 2500 kbps...
