vcd & cdg

[songpony]

It's nice that 3.1 will load VCDs similarly to a CDG, but most of my videos are on Laser Disks. Since Hoster will likely never accommodate the actual loading of Lasers, I have all my video songs (from Lasers, VCDs and DVDs) loaded to my computer as .mpg files. I'm currently playing them through Windows Media Player, but would really like to be able to play them through Hoster. Any (near future) plans to allow .mpg files to be played through Hoster as has been done with .mp3 files? I have more than 1200 videos, and the only way it's feasible for me to do something other than what I currently am is if Hoster will play the files in their existing format (with either a .mpg or .wmv extension). Thanks!

there are programs that will convert your mpeg files so you can burn them to vcd so you can then import to hoster. roxio cd creator has this option. Personly i used a tarapin stand alone VCD recorder to archive my old laser discs.

I've tried WinDVD Creator and I get it in VCD format, but it doesn't keep the songs as individual tracks - it puts them all together into a single large video. Plus, with 1200+ songs, I'd be burning a heck of a lot of disks - I'd rather just continue to play through WMP.

do you have cdg's also??. Perhaps just import the songs you DON'T have on other formats. why have several versions imported, only 2% of my tracks are on VCD or laserdisc now.
