Avi
 

Hi,

My mistake, posted in the wrong forum earlier.

Question. Can Hoster import and use AVI files as well as CDG's?

Thanks. :)

Re: Avi
 

Currently AVI files are not supported. Around the end of summer 2005 they will be. :)

Hoster 3.2, the next release, will import VCD tracks as AVI files and add them to the Songs Database and Song Book. At the same time, we will add converting AVI files on the hard drive into KMA files (takes about 0.5 second) and add them to the Songs Database.

Thanks for asking us.

Thanks for that. Hopefully my laser disc player will hold together till then! :)

If they are lasers you will have to use a video capture card/device to get them into your computer before Hoster will be able to work with them. I would recomend doing that now and using winamp or something similiar to play them until Hoster is ready for them.
Until then if you need a key change you'll have to either use the laser disk or run the audio through an external key changer.

Thanks for following up with that info Sam. I'm using Pinnacle Studio 9 Deluxe to convert my lasers to avi. It's an excellent program BTW. I guess the challenge will be storage space, they're hefty files. I'm trying a demo of Hoster and have some questions so I'll post those in one of the other forums.
