    That should read Archos AV500. I can add music but having problems adding the video files. They're AVI format, they are on the Archos when I go back into it but won't play. If there's a sample of the movie, that's playable but not the movie. Anyone got any suggestions ?

    From your description of the problem, I suggest the device does not have a compatible codec for the content in question.

    Ok, how do I go about finding a compatible codec if that's the problem. Everything worked fine in Windows XP untill I got Vista. I was able to sync the files to WMP 10, then to my Archos, but in Vista it's not possible to roll back to Media Player 10 so I'm rightly stuck. Anybody out there able to get Archos AV500 to work in Vista??

    Try updating the firmware if you havent already, there looks to be a couple of fixes in relation to AVI files:
