Equipment advice
I'm after a Archos AV700 PVR, but I don't know if to fork out the 300 quid + or get a PSP,
Any advise is welcome, is the a better model than the AV700 (which has a 7" screen, a size I don't really was smaller, plus a 40GB HD)

Re: Equipment advice
Get a PSP, its a Games Console, an MP3 Player and a Movie player and you can get the Gigapack (the one with the Gigabyte Memory Stick) + a Game for £200 from Gamestation atm. Also it has built in WiFi connectivity and you can browse the web on it

Re: Equipment advice
The only trouble with the PSP is the memory size?

Which can be expanded with a hard drive or extra 2gb duo cards.
To be fair for £200 its a great bit of kit.

Re: Equipment advice
get the Gigapack, comes with a 1gig Card and you can get 2-3 movies on that, or loadsa music. They can be gotten cheap off of eBay too and you can swap them while the unit is turned on (just not while its being accessed  )

Re: PSP advice
OK I've just bought a PSP Giga with 4 games.
I've put on the 1GB card some Audo/Photos.
I've some video files that I want to play on it but there not in the correct format. Is there free s/w that will allow mw to convert this.
When this is done what folder name do I give it.

Re: Equipment advice
I've downloaded PSPVodeo9, but it cannot find the PSP, it just pulses the floppy drive

I will download it and try it again when I get home from work to see if it still works with the newer firmware for you
