I just finished tagging my video collection... Using 12.0.130
By default MC12 assigns the "date modified" of the file to the Album field (which is actually a very bad idea - when cover art gets saved to cover art folder - there's a good chance, different movies would have the same file name for the cover art).
I renamed Album and Artist for all files.
Strange thing but for SOME files (about 10 out of 400) MC12 wouldn't keep their tags.
Whenever I close/reopen MC12 their tags revert to whatever was assigned upon import - Name, Album, Date (year) revert back but the image file I assigned gets remembered.
Tried to remove one of those files from the library, change its name and reimport - same story..
Some of the files are divx, some xvid, some mpg.
Any idea?

adding to the above:
It looks like MC12 auto-imports those problem files over and over again. If I change the file name, in 5-10 sec the tag field Name changes by itself..
I have auto-import disabled for "Whole Computer"..

I have had the very same issues over the past two days. I have just started to tag videos, and the first time it happened I thought I forgot to do those files. The second time it happened I thought I did something wrong. After the fourth try, the tagging held. I least, I think it did. I will check later today when I'm back to my computer.

I just checked the tagas on the files mentioned in my last post, and they did not hold. As Maxxsid indicated, it is only a small percentage of the total files.  All of my files are on hte same server, for what it's worth.

I went to auto-import settings and noticed that my s:\movies folder got added there. I put that folder into exclude-list and the problem went away.
So, what was happening was MC12 would auto-import those few files over and over again. I wonder why only THOSE files?

Nope.. the problem is still there! this is REALLY weird...

[maxxsid]

PPL!
This really drives me crazy.. why can this be happening?
Same 3-4 files keep losing their tags..
Upgraded to 12.0.139 - no change..

Sounds like a file size issue to me. Are they over 2GB?

I have a few files like that. It bugs the hell out of me

[maxxsid]

In fact, yes.. I suspected that was the reason.. However, one of the files is below 1gb but that one is mpg the rest is divx/xvid
thanks for the hint!

OK. Now I can confirm - all (but one) problem files were over 2gb in size - I split them and it helped.
The one smaller than 2gb was mpg file (700mb in size). Finally, I found what was wrong with that one - its timestamp was set to something like 1/1/2078 - I guess MC didn't like that...
