How the heck do you import videos into Library.

dustintml · 16th June 2008, 00:02

First of all I would just like to say that Winamp is a terrible video player. And when you play videos in it, it messes up the audio. And secondly, how do you import videos into your library. And is it even possible to sync videos with to your Ipod with Winamp. (And yes, I do have the ml_ipod plugin)

Yes, Winamp is a terrible video player unless you just play files from start to finish. I have no problems with audio. If you need some help then please post the information we require to be able to help you. The details are in the sticky FAQ thread.

You import videos just like any other file.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by start to finish. And I don't even no how to import any file. Because when I go to File> Add Media to Library, it only allows me to import folders, not exact files.

ITS A MEDIA LIBRARY, it sorts everything in your folders hence why you can only add folders.

it won't add file types that winamp doesn't support(so you'll need to add file extensions if needed. like .divx or mkv)

unfortunatly most video files don't have metadata or metadata that winamp can read so it goes on filenames.

If you want to add individual files, then the easiest way is to drag+drop them into the playlist editor, then right-click -> send to -> add to local media.

Other than that, as already mentioned, we'd need more info:

You haven't told us anything about the type of videos you're having problems with.

And Winamp plays videos perfectly okay for me, so I'm not sure what this 'terrible video player' thing is all about. I guess it all depends on system specs, graphics card & drivers, and DirectShow Splitters & Filters...
