I got a laptop with Mediasmart, but no user guide. I loaded videos straight off the camcorder into My videos. I can watch them on Windows media player, but HP mediasmart does not see them. I put the "my videos" folder in the monitored folders, still nothing. It does pick up all the crappy vidos from our cell phones and digital cameras. But the good camcorder videos, which saved as mpegs, don't show up, and I can't find any information in the program on how to get them to. Therefore, the program stinks

Dave, the link states that one must choose in Settings whether to allow videos that exceed 10 minutes. Perhaps that is not allowed and that is why you see the short videos and none of your longer ones. Hope you see this!

ok so this may be a dumb dumb question....... but i want to change the floder path that mediasmart photo saves TO.... but i can't figure out how to change it from C drive to my extenal drive. (in other words i want all photos i have to be saved to my external drive) i understand i can save all photos onto the drive and open them from there, but to "play " with the photos it asks me to import them- thus saving them onto my c drive. the reason for my external drive was to prevent the photos junking up my laptop. i'm sure there is an easy answer i'm just not seeing it!

I am a teacher and recorded short videos of my students in sign language class. All the videos are there, but there is no minimize button, edit button or anything. All I can do is play them. I need to be able to upload them asap. Help?

The program used to see all the photos on my computer. Now no matter what I do it doesn't see anything. Useless.
