..."Step by step..."
"Movies"With zero tags, all video will end up under "Movies"....but it can be quite unorganized to have all videos under movies
since there are no group possibilities...
note: the videos will also pop up under the playlist they belong to when you synch the ipod...so there is some organizing..
personally i dont like it... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Podcast Video"With Tag "Podcast" in MC field "Genre", the videos will end up under Podcast and Podcast video
note: The Tagged Podcast Videos will also show up under Music/Podcast...this is a "feature" and you will be able
to listen to videotip: with prefix in front of the artist you can at least have some sorting under podcasts-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Music Video"With Tag "Music Video" in MC field "Media Sub Type", the videos will show up under "Music Videos"...
note: you can group on artist, Music videos will also show up under Music..i guess this is also a feature------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"TV Show"There is also a Tag called "TV Show"...this group will only show up on the ipod when the file is correct Tagged...
To set these tags, you can use iTunes...but it sucks, takes a long time and you can only tag one file at a time...
but there is help
....with this little nice tool
http://www.floola.com/ you can set this tag in no time
multi tagging and so on...so now you can group videos under /TV Show/Show/
note: if you set the tag "TV Show" you can not synch the iPod within MC with the option "Delete from handheld...."
MC wants to delete the files note 2: there is also a second grouping in tag "TV Show" called season, but then you need other tools (below) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Other"MC crew has recently created a function to convert "not iPod formats" to mp4...you can choose from 2 different ones,
the difference is quality...but if you want to synch you first have to transfer your ipodformat files first with option
"no conversion" since MC otherwise will try to convert already functional formats...
my note: the conversion option is really neat, but it seems to give you errors..but next time you synch
they work so if you have larger files..convert them first with some other tool..my note 2: the conversion is OK for visual but for audio is not good enough for music videos------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
there are other tools like
http://atomicparsley.sourceforge.net/ and
http://tvtagger.wordpress.com/ if you want to tag the files easily, but they
write to the file itself and since MC dont read mp4tags you have to use iTunes as the "middleman"...
