Using My Videos
Media Center allows you to organize and play videos on your computer.
Organizing Your Videos
When you attach a digital video camera to your computer, Windows asks how you want to capture
the video. Various software programs allow you to capture and edit video files. Most programs
automatically save the file to the
My Videos folder in Windows Explorer. If not, you must move
your videos into the
My Videos or Shared Video folder in Windows Explorer in order to play them
in Media Center. When you have placed all your videos into the
My Videos or Shared Video folder,
you can rename, add, delete, and organize them into folders.
To organize and store your videos in the
My Videos folder in Windows Explorer:
1
Click the Start button and click My Documents.
