For me they are still listed as videos. Have they been ever listed correctly for you?

First time I have used flv files. They play via an external player when I try to play them in MC.
So I dont think they have ever been listed as Video files. How can you change where MC stores its files. As far as I know MC decides what a file is.

They should play inside MC.  Try changing the "Media Type" tag in properties for those files.

Thanks Jim that did the trick, but why did they import as data files?

I don't know.  What happens if you try to play them now?

They play fine within MC. Looks like the import was the problem. I'll get another flv from the interweb and import it to see if it's ok now and not me being stupid.

Well I just saved an flv into an auto import directory (folder for windows users :) and it came in as a video file just as it should. I can't explain why the others came in as data files but it seems ok now.

Thanks for the help Jim.

Was your other flv file also recently added to your library? If not, then there is an explanation: several builds ago we added code to make sure flv files are imported as video. Before that, some flv would import as data due to some DirectShow issues.

Yaobing, I think you've hit the  nail on the head there, they were old files which I didn't notice were in the library until I checked the document section.

Thanks for the help.
