You have a portable player and would like to watch your favorite DVDs using it? For instance, you have got an Archos DVR but you do not know how to convert your files into Archos DVR compatible format? AVS Video Tools is just the program you need to solve this problem now. This simple yet powerful video converter utility enables you to transfer your DVD library to Archos DVR (AVI/WMV) format with a few mouse clicks.
What you need: All you need to transfer your DVD video and video files to your Archos DVR is:
|
|
| Step 1 : |
Download and install AVS Video Tools. |
|
| Step 2 : |
Run AVS Video Converter and select your input video file. To select a video you would like to convert hit the Browse... button next to Input File Name Field. In the opened Windows Explorer Window browse for the necessary DVD folder:
NOTE! When your input is a DVD Disc, you will need to select the path to your source file: X://Video_TS/Video_TS.IFO. "X" stands for your DVD-ROM or the hard disk drive folder where your DVD is stored:
It is important to select the IFO file, rather than VOB file,
because the IFO file contains the information about the entire DVD structure
and this way you will avoid audio and video de-synch problems when converting.
