From the Manufacturer
The Archos AV320 Video Recorder is the first handheld personal entertainment center. The AV320 combines a modular MP4 video player and recorder with an MP3 music player and recorder. The AV320 also functions as digital photo wallet or a data storage device that fits in the palm of your hand. As an MP4 video player, you can now enjoy up to 40 hours of near-DVD quality video with MP3 sound, approximately 25 full-length movies. The AV320 comes bundled with the Archos DVR 100 Digital Video Recorder module which lets you record directly from your VCR, DVD or camcorder (records TV thru VCR or DVD connection) into MP4. Sporting the industry's only high-resolution 3.8" color screen, the Video AV320 offers the most enjoyable video play back experience in any portable device. As an MP3 Music Player and Recorder, you can record and play up to 300 hours of MP3 music from CDs or any other music source. As an MP3 Voice Recorder, you can record and play back up to 700 hours of voice recordings. The AV320 is a digital photo wallet. You can store up to 200,000 photos for easy viewing by your family, friends, customers or colleagues.

	Cinema to Go It's never been easier to watch movies on the go. You can store up to 160 of your favorite movies and view them on the high resolution 3.8" color LCD or on a TV. Record and store up to 320 hours of video (average with a AV380 80GB hard disk) from any standard video source, TV or VCR using the Digital Video Recorder plug. Simply record into MPEG-4, the new standard of compressed digital video. It is as easy as using a VCR and you don't need a PC. You can also download video content from a PC and watch your video anywhere you go.		Photos and Video to Go Take up to 800,000 digital photos with you and show them to your family, friends, or colleagues. Instantly transfer photos from your digital camera to the AV300 using the Memory Card Reader optional add-on. For the photo and video buff, the AVCam 300 add-on provides a top-quality Ricohä zoom lens. You can use the combined 3.3 megapixel camera and MPEG-4 camcorder to make your own movies and shoot high-resolution photos at school, parties, or other social gatherings.
	MusicMatch All of Archos AV products are bundled with the award winning MusicMatch software. You can use it to transform your CDs into MP3 files for playing on your AV. It can also help you tag your music or create a music library.		View on TV It has never been easier to show your best photos and video selections to your friends directly on the TV. The AV300 series is delivered with a standard audio and video cable that fits on any type of TV (PAL or NTSC). Impress your friends and family with a photo slideshow with background music. They will also be wowed by the near-DVD quality resolution of your videos. (TV not included!)
