Ok, I have a question....
Where do picture/video files get stored when you take a picture and/or record a video using the built-in Archos 101 Webcam? What folder are these pics and videos stored in because I've gone through every folder in the Archos 101 I can think of and I can't find any of my new pics? Please help me locate them so I can copy them to my pc and sd card!?
Thanks to anyone who knows where to find it.

Guys,
Having now got my Samsung TV set up wirelessly I thought I would try AllShare on the SGSII and DLNA a few video files across.
However, what I am finding is AllShare does not seek out all movie files stored on either the internal SD or External_SD. It lists video's you have created using the default camera App.
Has anyone found a way to get AllShare to display movies you have transferred onto the SGSII?
Edited:
Sorted - See Post 7.
I seriously can not believe no one is interested in finding out why we can not display all video/photo and audio files.
I tried this on my Tab and sure enough Allshare does display other video files not stored in the camera folder, so it begs the question why is it the SGSII does not allow you to display them?
If this is correct and again I fail to see it's accuracy that would mean you can not show a movie you have on your external_sd card via Allshare. That sounds utterly preposterous.
Either I am missing something so simple it is eluding me or there is a problem with Allshare's ability in searching for and displaying all supported file's.
I don't want this topic to die without first a fight but if no one replies it will fold away in the depth's of xda-devs.
The Allshare apps on my SGSII has no problems listing videos not inside DCIM.
I've installed the Allshare app on my HTPC (Win7). Using the app on teh SGSII I'm able to playback videos in folder /sdcard/Movies (that's the internal card, don't have an external card to test with)

Thanks for replying, appreciated.
Well I am pleased to hear you can display and play other video media, this is how it should be.
Now if I can get someone to test the external sd as well then I will know if I have a problem with my Allshare.
Meanwhile I will try copying a few video's to the internal sd/movies folder and see if Allshare can pick them up. If so then it may be that Allshare does not list files on the external sd.
Weird as the Tab does.
Received my SD card today and moved the videos folder over from internal to external card. Allshare still shows the videos in the My Device tab > Videos view

Can you provide an accurate naming and directory of exactly where on the external_sd card they are stored please.
Maybe it's because I have mine buried too deep in the card for Allshare to pick them up.
As in say ~ sdcard/external_sd/movies/
/external_sd/Video/
In the Video folder I have mkvs and avi which I copied over.
Allshare could see them in KDD and now KE2 firmware. Didn't test with other firmwares.

That worked a treat.... Thanks, sorted.
What did you have to do, rename the Movies folder to Video?
No... When I tried that it still didn't display anything.
However when I moved the Movies folder to the root it then listed the files.
So weird.... naming the folder to Video's in the root displays nothing
Having the folder name Movies not in the root displays nothing.
.. but having the folder name Movies in the root works.
Talk about confusing.....
My next issue is with Music.
Any music in a folder named Music either in the root on the external_sd or directly in sdcard/ does not display anything inside that folder.
Where do you have your music stored and under what name?
Music is stored in /sdcard/Music/Artist/Album/track.mp3 and Allshare can see it all no problem.
I sync my music using WMP12 and it creates the Music folder and all subfolders. Works manually too.

Weird..... that is where I stored my folder named Music but Allshare finds nothing.
I'll have a closer look later... Just about to go back into theatre for this mornings Ops.
EDITED:
Well... I found the time in the end and what a surprise it is...
If I place the music where you did in sdcard/music/ Allshare does not display it.
But.. if I place it in sdcard/media/ the music files are then picked up?
I have some mp4 movie files, but I don't know where to place em
Should I place em in the usbstorage folder or the dcim/camera folder?

Doesn't matter....you put them anywhere, the phone is smart to pick those automatically. For better file management, I'd advise you to create a Video folder and have those placed under it.

Just put them anywhere in the sdcard or external_sd folders and media scanner will pick it up.

This. I have mine in a folder on the internal SD under video.
But does the default video player in the phone lists the videos after media scanning is complete?
Apparently mine doesn't, unless I put them in the dcim/camera folder. It will then be listed along with all the videos I have shot

Hey everyone,have a question regarding dropbox.
I just installed it on my tab to watch a video that was sent to me. When I tried to watch it I think it took me to my mobo player, but I got a msg stating that no media directory was selected.
Anyone able to tell me what this was about? Does it mean that the file format is not supported? It gave me options to select a folder from my tab. Not sure if that was to try and find a player or the video that I was trying to watch... thanks for the help! PS,the video said .mov , wasn't sure if hat was the format or just stating that it was a video.
Sorry for the noobness...thanks again!
Not sure about the format issue, and never used Mobo player... And I did know/ don't think you could stream videos directly from dropbox. But would be interested in this.

I don't think that dropbox on the tab works the way it does on a PC. It doesn't download all the content, just grabs it off the net when you request a document. You could probably move a video from your dropbox to a folder on your tab, but I don't think that dropbox would support streaming.
Let us know if you get this to work though; would be great to be able to stream directly through dropbox!
If Dropbox actually downloaded it, you'd get a message in the notification tray, and the file would be in the Dropbox folder on your Tab.
There's only a few programs that work directly out of Android Dropbox (Aldiko will install epubs from there, and of course APK files are ran).
I am using Wifi Explorer (Market Link) to edit my SD Card from my computer.
I would like to place some videos (.mp4) on to my HTC Sensation and was wondering what folder to place them in?
Thanks!
It doesn't matter. However, the most common place would be Video (/sdcard/Video).

Ok thanks but what directory would make it most accessible for watching movies?
Just the one that would show in the default app.
As I said, /sdcard/Video (the default app can see the videos in any directory, BTW).
Hi, the other day went on a vacation and can't record anything because when i stopped the video it said 'Camera has stopped working' and the video was saved to the gallery but corrupted, so the phone wont play it.
Is there a way to fix/repair this files? Because it seems that the file weight a lot, like it contain the video, but it lack of something (i think) and the pc and the phone don't wanna play it.
Does anyone know something? In advance, thanks.
I have the same problem. Help!
Theres no way to "decorruptify" it that I no off.
The only thing I can suggest is copy the file to the computer, give it an extension like .avi and see what vlc can do with it.

how do you get these files to your computer. they are clogging up my phone now. I really need to delete them out of the phone and even if it was hopeless I would like to save the files.
Use a file manager to copy them to your sdcard then plug into your computer.
