At the moment, when I go to import a whole bunch of movies, AllMyMovies doesn't recognize .mp4 files. I have to change the file selection to 'All files' to see them.
Could you make AllMyMovies recognize .mp4 files as video please?
Thanks. |

It is easy to add .MP4 to the list of visible files when using "Add from file..." menu.
But... Just tested AMM with mp4 file - it loads, but can't recognize any codecs info. When trying to add screenshots AMM hangs . Duration, File size and resolution were detected properly.
I think we will add .mp4 to the known video file extensions but will not advertise it.
And we'll try to make a better mp4 support of course |

Hi... yes, when I first tried adding MP4 video files (by using 'all files' as you say), AMM didn't recognise what the format of the file was (resolution, frame rate etc). The MP4's I have are produced with Nero 7's 'Nero Recode', which I have installed on my PC so I can play such movies with Nero Showtime.
I then did some research on the web, becuase I wanted to get AMM to pickup the resolution etc, and I also wanted to be able to play the movies with Media Player Classic (not Nero Showtime). What I found is that when I re-ran the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack install, and selected ALL the DivX codecs (not just the latest v5) as well as the MS MPEG4, I could then play the movie OK in Media Player Classic, and also... AMM now picks up on the resolution etc of my MP4's. Although I do no fully understand MPEG4 codecs etc, I read something about MPEG4 actually being MPEG2 layer 4 which can use DivX4. Hope this helps. |
