Video (eg: YouTube Videos) can be dragged onto the PVP such as Philips Sa5285/37 without using ArcSoft or Windows Video Player. Use "Mozilla FireFox 3.0.5" with "Download Helper 3.5.1 Add On" and download the selected Video from YouTube in the prescribed manner and then drag it onto your PVP by opening up "My Computer" in Windows and finding the PVP Icon (make sure your device is connected) - open it and find the Video Folder and if it is not there create one as you would on your PC. This works well as long as the Video is converted to AVI by the Add On Download Helper Convertor. Open "Preferences" window after opening FireFox Browser and opening Download Helper window. Select "Conversion" ,Double Click "Convert FLV Files From ALL to AVI Default" from main window( this would have been set as a rule ). Then Select Input Files with Extension "FLV" then "from site" "ALL" then for "Output" select AVI(mpeg4+mp3) then selct "Details" & then "General" and then "Output Format" "AVI Format" then "Video Codec" "mpeg4" then "Audio Codec" "libmp3lame". Do not go to "Advanced" and change anything -those boxes are left unchecked and just "Custom AVI" comes up for Video Format. Good Luck Friends! DWH

It supports 180+ video and audio file formats as input and output, including MKV, WMV, FLV DAT, etc. As a powerful video converter, it has an easy-to-use interface, offering you linear and seamless converting experience with no frustration.
Huh? (below) That post is way more difficult than it really is...
Download "Any video Converter", download Windows Media Player 11, Download "All codecs"
Use "Any Video converter for Youtube videos and any other video file you want to convert if the philips program fails to install. You need Windows Media Player 11 and all codecs for this to work flawlessly... Set the conversion setting as directX and mpeg 4 in options and then WMV V9 for codec @ 320X240 - Video birate at 384...

I have the same issue, the converter just crashes, the device is recognised but prompts "ok to disconnect", id I open the player in My Computer, it wont allow me the option of drag n drop for the files, insisting I use WMP to SYnc with, which to fails to do.
Im at a complete loss with it now, I cant download any move on it (regardless of format).
