Play MKV 720p movies on the Archos 101 Internet Tablet from a USB hard drive

Posted by Charbax on December 22nd, 2010

This is a 500GB Western Digital 2.5″ external hard drive, it’s not powered and that works on the Archos 101 Internet Tablet because that one is outputting enough power on USB to power the hard drive.

    Hi, i did notice that the 500GB Western Digital 2.5″ external hard drive can work, (wonder how long the battery can last) i would like to know more about those 720P mkv, are they 2ch only or ac3 did you have the plugin cinema installed? or did you re-encode in order to have them play smoothly.

    i did some test my self without the plugin.. i had to re-encode the file in order to change the ac3 format to mp3 off course but also i had to low down the bitrate at is minimal as files are originally encode with an high bitrate (can take quite some time if you have several movies).

    thank for your input on this.

    Dumb question… How did you plugin the hard drive to the Archos?

    Would it work the same way with a 70 IT ??
