Watch your DVD videos on your Archos Media Player

Support for Archos AV series players was added to the Pocket DVD Wizard in version 3.

The Wizard supports both the WMV and AVI outputs required by Archos media players. Some play one format, others play the other, and a few (eg the AV700) will play both.
