My question arises from a desire to catalogue my videos.
For WMV files the File Properties have a Description with
Title,Comments, which is very useful.
However, for other video type ( AVI, MPG etc ) there is no
Description.
Presumably MS think you should only use their video type.
This situation is worse in Vista than in XP.
In XP, I could rename my AVI files, say as AVIM in order to get Title,
Comments properties.
I could still then associate AVIM with my Media Player.
In Vista, one can not even do this as an alternative file type .e.g.
AVIM files do not now have a Description in Properties.
Vista seems to extol its virtue of better catorgorising files and
searching. With the exclusion of Description for many file types this
is not true.
Is there any way of forcing Description propeties/tags on these file
types ?
