What version of Hoster and what operating system?

When was the last time you did the Custom Update from Microsoft?

We'd all like to see your answers to these basic questions. Often updating Windows is the answer.

If you own these VCDs, then just COPY & PASTE the .dat files onto your Hard drive. Then PLAY these files with Hoster by ADDING VIDEO to the PLAYLIST.

Excellent points also. We have not create a full VIDEO import from discs, and that won't be in 4.00 either. Using Windows Media Player to import the tracks to your hard drive and then playing is the best approach.

Hoster 4.0 now allows importing video files (all the filename extensions we support) as a new HDVID type, saving them in the Songs Database for Search, BookID, Brand lookup to add to the Playlist, and print or not print in your Songbooks.

Hoster 4.0 target release is May 30, but this is software and it must be right before we release. All new features are in, now we're getting the remaining kinks and bugs out. It's called "CRUNCH TIME".
