No Audio on Video Clips from AV400 playing on Laptop Win Med Plyr

I have used my AV400 to record TV clips (via the RGB connection to the cradle). I transfer clips I want to view on my laptop by connecting the AV400 to USB port then drag and drop individual ‘VID0nnn’ files from the ‘Video’ folder on the Archos, not from the ‘_arcthumb’ sub-folder. This used to work fine with no loss of quality of the video or the audio and none of the sync problems other AV400 users have reported. This is not working any more with Clips I have transferred in the last few days. Symptom – No Audio at all !! I tried to play these clips on both RealPlayer and Win Media Player 11.

Strange thing is if I run old clips which I had previously backed up from previous Laptop onto external HDD then these play fine on my present laptop. Looking at the ‘properties’ of an older clip and comparing with ‘properties’ of current clip I can see no difference. My previous laptop and the present one are both running Win XP. The only difference from my older laptop is this one also has iTunes 7 player, which my daughter uses for her music files only, not video. Could iTunes be affecting the new clips I am transfering. Please help

Why when playing dvd still receiving tv sound off freeview
The problem is probably in how your audio is liked up. Is the connection from DVD to TV via hdmi, scart, phono, RGB, optical? You need to check that the video link from DVD to TV and the audio link from DVD to TV are the same. Hope this helps.

Converting video to computer
Hi, All you need is the right cable to video card on your computer. The computer will do the rest. (AVI,mpeg4 WMV, AV) These are some of the formats you can use. Most of all make sure the video you make coinsides with Window media. Because you will not be able to watch anything on any devices if you don't. Good luck.

How do i play whats on the memory card nothing plays video only audio. or what do i need to convert it
First, make sure you have it on CARD (and not DISK), and on the "playback" (and not record) mode. Next, does the camera play back other video clips normally, but just not a specific clip ?
Does the selected video clip frame (index) shown on the LCD screen have a picture ? If not, i.e. it is blank (dark), then it is likely that no video was recorded (i.e. just the audio) when you were shooting that video clip.
If there is a picture (of the video clip frame index on the LCD screen) and only audio is playing, try downloading the clip (from the SD card) to your computer, or simply try to play the video on the SD card (inserted directly into your SD card reader on your computer, or via a USB SD card reader) and see if the video clip will play normally on your computer.

I would like to connect the audio from my Comcast DVR via digital optical thru the TV/SAT IN optical on the receiver at the same time I have a composite connection via the TV RCA composite jacks. ( This...
I'm a little confused by your use of 'composite' with audio, as in "Does anyone know what would happen if I ran both composite audio and optical audio both to their respective TV/SAT IN input jacks on the STRDE935 ?". What is composite audio?

The manual claims on page 48 that you can't record digital audio out to the analog REC OUT jacks.

http://www.retrevo.com/s/Sony-STR-DE935-Receivers-review-manual/id/387dj981/t/1-2/

I say 'claims' because the engineers or manual writers clearly are not as creative as you are in trying to wring as much utility out if this unit as possible.

I can't find an answer but I would offer this - if you are recording anything though any AVR, as soon as you choose to monitor the audio the digital input is usually disabled.

And I would be curous to hear more about what you're doing and how you finally achieve it.

How do I transfer recorded programs from my 622 DVR to my home computer?
http://www.dishnetwork.com/downloads/user-guides/receivers/622_UserGuide.pdf
User guide. above.
You would have to connect up, using a PC & DVR software and some form of TV/Video recording Card, or USB device. Then connect up via AV, Composite, Yellow, Video. White & Red Audio. and "Capture" either live video & Audio, so basically whatever was viewed on the screen, would be "Recorded" on the PC, via the TV/Video interface device, if using a laptop, then a USB "Dongle" & software would be the best. In a Desktop, a PCI-I card would be Best, Then using the Software that comes with the devices, you "Record" with that and "Play" with the Dish DVR, and save, the Streamed Video & Audio to the PC. Now, If you have Component Out, on the Dish, then this is the one to use, If you choose this way, remember the Device you are going to use Must have a Component INPUT as well, as A Stereo Audio Input, so ensure the device you get has that feature.

How to connect a humax foxsat-hd to a panasonic dmr 75eb recorder,to a panasonic th42px60b plasma tv,also will i get better result using component cable instead of scart lead. please can you...
You plug the humax into the panasonic dvd recorder and then from the outputs of the dvd recorder plug it into the panasonic plasma inputs

Is component video better than RGB? Well, yes and no, RGB provides the widest bandwidth and is the best choice for connecting audio visual devices like a Freeview box, digibox or Sky+ box to your TV, home cinema or home theatre system. DVD is however different, to reduce the amount of storage required DVDs are recorded using component video, it is therefore better to connect a DVD player via a component video cable to your TV, plasma or LCD TV etc.

Thanks if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask

DVD VHS recorder
It sounds like your cables are connceted ok, but what you neede to do is to be able the switch from one video mode to the other so lets go through the cable and vrc conncetions again just to make sure. From your cable set top box connect your component video (RGB) video out to your TV (RGB) video in via the (RGB)cables. From your VCR connect your composite video (yellow) out to your TV composite video in withe the composite video (yellow) cable. From your VCR (Left & Right audio out)connect your left and right audio connections (White and Red) to the Audio in of the TV (Left and Right). Whith this setup you should be able to use the TV to switch between the two A/V inputs using the remote control.

Linking my canera to the TV to view the pic's
Playing Back images/Video Clips on TV You can also playback your images on a TV screen. Before connecting to any device, make sure to select NTSC/PAL system to match the video output system of the video equipment you are going to connect to Vivicam 5340s, then turn all connected devices off. 1. Position Vivicam 5340s on the cradle. 2. Match the docking connectors and carefully insert Vivicam 5340s until it fits in place. 3. Connect one end of the A/V cable to the A/V terminal of the cradle. 4. Connect the other end to the A/V input socket of the TV set. 5. Turn the TV and Vivicam 5340s on. 6. Playback the still images/video clips. The method of operation is the same as playing back still images and video clips on Vivicam 5340s. I hope this helps:)
