Importing Multiple Movies/Videos From CD, DVD, HD or Folder

(1/3) > >>

Hello
First of thanks for creating such a great application.
I recently downloaded and installed.
I don't know (i couldn't find at least) if such a function is present:
* importing multiple movies at once, details as follows;
    I have a seperate HDD for movies and multiple DVDs which contains multiple movies (i am sure most of people have likely setup).

Problem1: There're 200+ movies in the hdd. When i select import main title and point to folder it only imports one movie
Solution1: Now that i realized that from preferences and folders it imports all movies one by one.
OK i solved my first problem :)

Now here's the remaining problem:
Problem2: I've given numbers for all my DVDs. For example DVD #1 contains Matrix movies (The MAtrix, Matrix Reloaded...). Is there an option to scan DVDs (just like the Folders option in Problem1 :)) find movies in the DVD and Label them?
So that when I double click a movie it will show corresponding DVD # :)

nostra:
You can scan any folder or disc in the same way you did with hdd. Just put the dvd into the drive, wait for a dialog to appear in PVD and select Scan files. You can index movies automatically using options in Tools -> Preferences -> Movies or manually by setting a value to the ID field.

I hope bumping existing "relevant" thread it's not against the rules (and I've read 'Read this first' :)).

*PVD 0.9.9.9
*Windows XP

Problem: Tools -> Scan folders for new movies
1: doesn't add all movies in (sub)folder(s)
2: preserves folder structure only for some movies (ie. PVD doesn't leave most of them in their subfolders, but forces them into "root" dir)
3 (not a real problem, but connected with 2): is it possible to preserve directories for all added files (ie. just leave them as they are in Windows Explorer)?

Anyway, kudos to Alexander for a really neat program. ;)

nostra:
I am not sure what you mean? PVD does not change your folder structure at all.
You you explain exactly what you mean. Screenshots would be very helpful.

I hope you won't mind if I welcome you to the forum, discourteous.  ;)

No, but it can be annoying when it causes the reader to ask themselves, "Why is this relevant?," only to find it's not. It's usually better to start a new topic when the old topic is this old.

You'll have to provide more details about the type of files you are scanning, the folder structure, and the path names the scanner is  saving (or proposing to). It will add all movies—that the regular expressions in your configuration are able to recognize. It does not change any path or filenames, so if the those recorded are different than what you see in Explorer—that's an error (the likes of which I've not seen before).
