Good Points

The ease of use with regards to transferring files onto the device
The ability to record from the TV
The quality of the picture
The functionality of the buttons
Pretty much everything about the device is top notch!


Bad Points

I was hoping the battery life would be a bit better. It lasts about 4 hours when using video when fully charged. The one thing I would change about the firmware is that I would like an option added under the "resume" function that would allow me to either resume to Audio or Video.


General Comments

The Archos AV500 DVR portable DVD player is simply the best purchase I've ever made! It does everything I can hope for. I bought the 100GB version, and it's certainly come in handy, as I used it to record a lot of the NCAA basketball tournaments, as I was not home to watch it. I simply scheduled the recording times and left my digital box on, and it recorded every minute. Now I'm able to transfer it onto the computer and edit as I please.

I have to say anyone that ever sees this baby in operation is very impressed, and the best thing is that it is truly portable! As in, I'm able to put into my pocket easily enough when listening to music, and it doesn't weigh a lot.

I did a lot of research before making this purchase, and this review is only intended to help anyone who's intending on purchasing this product.
