I lately purchased a program from AVS to convert videos and have been able to adjust the gain volume before converting them on to avi... it has worked well... all the studying I've done so far says that KMA is a format used for cdg conversions.. have nothing about videos, and have found nothing to convert actual videos of any format to KMA, that's why I have been wondering.
As far as Hoster goes, this being able to play so many formats including vids. is why I chose this program. So far, the formats i have played successfully have been: mpg1 (from vcds), avi (I made from cdgs and from video), wmv, divx (made from mpg1 files captured from the lasers). They play beautifully and the color and sound quality is great. But if you don't have the codec for the different vid formats it might not play right. I had to go get a free divx program from divx.com (the player) before it would all go smoothly on my toshiba.
Why I was asking is I'm sure that I read somewhere in the Hoster information that the future upgrade was going to use KMA (from vids) to add vids to the database.... if so, then how can I change them, as to be ready?
Thanks, Nita

Yes in a future release Hoster will list videos in the database, but you can't convert them for Hoster except in Hoster and that won't be until that part is released, so there is nothing more for you to do at this point.
As Roy said and compression takes processor time to uncompress for playing. This doesn't effect CDG types of compression nearly as bad as it will for videos just because of the large size for them.
