General Tab¶

This tab lets you choose the external media player or video editor for your catalog videos.

External video player - The default external video player is Windows Media Player, but this can be changed to any desired player, for example, VLC, QuickTime, RealTime, DivX, etc. Usually, you will use the internal video player ( this is not affected by this setting ) and whose settings come under the Preferences/Video Player tab.

External video editor - You can associate an external video editor for use on videos in your catalog. You can edit your videos on an external video editor and still play them from within Fast Video Cataloger.

Force video extension -- The extension entered here will be assumed to be a video file. I.e., the program will try to index files with that extension and do everything else that it does to known extensions like avi, mp4, etc.

Force photo extension -- The extension entered here will be assumed to be a photo file. I.e., the program will treat files with this extension just the same it does to jpg files.
