As the first initiative under the new agreement, consumers who purchase the ARCHOS AV 700 Mobile DVR will receive two free download-to-own videos from CinemaNow's portable video collection. Once the content is downloaded, they can easily view the videos on their ARCHOS device. Currently, CinemaNow boasts a library of more than 550 full-length features and more than 200 music videos available for portable video players that are Microsoft PlaysForSure compliant."</i><br /><br />Unfortunately a quick browse of their library found an assortment of movies that most people have probably never heard of including such gems as "Dirtbags Armpit of Metal" and "Hey...Stop Stabbing Me!". Although I was pleasantly surprised to find an old anime TV series favorite of mine, "Star Blazers".

IS this mobile content locked to these devices, or is it playable on other mobile devices? I have an old AV380, and I can play vids on my Zodiac. I wonder what codec they use? I will have to check that out.
