Tasha, mine is the same! i got mine for christmas and mine doesnt have the webcam either and when i look in my video folder it isnt there it is under the webcam folder instead
Can you show how to apply the same tag to a number of selected photos?
I would like to have some kind of manual on using hp MediaSmart
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.
Same problem as Dave. Dumb Dumb Dumb
I have exactly the same problem as dave and Sean. I also make some slide shows and they disappeared...and can't find the files. Anyone know if these things can be fixed?? I have found HP help to be useless.
