There's no included software to do it. The best way is the probably use SUPER, a collection of open-source and freely available tools to guide you through the process, then use Windows Media Player or the Creative software to send the ripped videos to your Zen.

An easier solution to this problem is to buy the video cable for the Apple I-book. It is different than the one for the I-Pod and works perfectly for the Zen without any modifications needed.

I don't own one - yet - but I believe there's 2 ways:1. Rip your DVD using a 3rd party program - handbrake should work I believe. Looks like the player supports a lot of formats by default.2. If you want integration, here's a direct quote from the Archos 5 website: "...You can now copy your DVDs onto your ARCHOS 5 and play them directly, with subtitles if you want, with the MPEG 2 compatibility. ..." For that you'll need to buy the Cinema codec from them.

You will have to buy third-party software, but you can easily copy DVDs to any Archos product (or I-Pod) using instructions at http://www.askdavetaylor.com/how_do_i_copy_a_dvd_onto_my_archos_av700.html I've tried it with over a dozen DVDs (movies, TV shows, etc) and never had a problem.

Donald, Have you had any success fixing this problem? I am having the same problem, I try transferring DVD files to the MP3 and it seems to work, but when I go to play the video on the mp3 it gives me an error. I think it needs to be converted but don't know how. Thanks.

You are encountering a common and easily fixable problem. DVDs encode audio with the Dolby Digital codec (AAC). The Zen does not support this encoding because the codec is proprietary, thus expensive to license. Makes for a bit of extra work sometimes but it makes the retail price cheaper. Anyway, just tell your DVD ripper to convert the audio to the MP3 codec. If you need to, download the free Lame Mp3 codec pack. Luckily most movies and videos that you can download on the internet use Mp3 audio. It doesn't really even make much sense for a portable media device to support high definition, surround sound audio. Unless you plan on carrying half a dozen speakers and a subwoofer onto the morning train. You are encountering a common and easily fixable problem.

I really do not know. I would think it possible if you have the ability to connect your camera to the fire wire port on the dvd player. Most mini usb cables from camera end in a standard usb male connector, so does the provided fire wire connector to the dvd player. You would need a double female connector to hook the two together. If you have multiple usb 2.0 ports on your computer I would think that you could direct the storage straight to the dvd player but have not tried to do so myself. I transfer media directly from the micro sd cards to dvd.

You can simply put the movies on a usb thumb drive. There's two (2) full sized usb 3.0 slots on the side. Just be sure to use the smaller ones, as they barely stick out of the side, if you're worried about damage to the stick.

There is two ways: get an external DVD drive (which I have) or a 8 or 16GB flash drive and a micro USB to standard USB cable and it installs just like on a real PC. Note: If you use the flash drive method you must first copy the DVD to the flash also, I am running Windows 8.1 Pro. Your mileage may vary. :)

I am sorry I cannot help you. I still cannot figure out how to record and have it play on another dvd player...ugh!

Take them to a video transfer store and have them convert to video files on DVD. Or if you have a desktop PC, buy a firewire PCI E card.

Don't know if this will help, but I put the DVD in a different computer, transferred the files to a USB drive, then put it on my laptop that doesn't have a cd/dvd drive.. worked for me..

How did you upload the music from the Zen to the computer? Any special software required?

Download all your DVDs to your laptop or a program on your desktop computer and create a library then transfer them to a jumpdrive or thumbdrive and take them with you..Keep in mind that this process is a bit time consuming but you will be pleased with the end result
