If you're using Windows:
1. Download PocketDivXEncoder (http://divx.ppccool.com/) and run it.
2. It asks what device you're encoding for, choose "Archos", then "Archos AV400/PMA400".
3. Choose the Geekdrome file you want to convert under "1 - File to encode".
4. Click the "Encode Now" button and wait until it's done.
5. Do whatever you normally do to transfer the new video file to your device.
For some reason the progress bar doesn't seem to work until it's almost done encoding. You can make sure it's actually working by going into the output folder (same folder as the Geekdrome file) and checking that the output file is there. It'll be the same name as the Geekdrome file with "_Archos.avi" at the end of it.
