I want to connect my old analog camcorder to my Archos AV340 and use it as a digital camcorder. I know it records from the camera as it does from a TV source, but I want to transfer the footage from the Archos to my PC to burn DVDs from it. Unfortunately, the PC does not see this type of software, even when "show hidden files" is enabled in folder options in the control panel. I am running Windows XP Pro. By the way, I can't find the disc that came with the Archos. Do I need it for this, and where can I get one?
Transferring video to and from the Archos should be a relatively simple process. I can't see any reason why it shouldn't work the way you're doing it.
Take a trip over to the Archos website, and download the Universal Archos Driver Package, and check to make sure you're running the latest firmware for your AV300 series Archos.
Give those a shot and post back if you still can't get it.
The new firmware seemed to help as a new recording can now be downloaded to the PC. Thanks for the help.
