Propblem with the Zune
i dont know if it's the right section but i'm havin a little comoplication with my zune and i was wondering if any of you zune geniuses have any suggestions.
So, when i first got my zune, with all the standard videos they were broken down in sections: All Videos | Music Videos | Movies (i think those r the ones they were).... but now, since I deleted those videos, and uploaded my own.... there only seems to be the "All Videos" section...
anybody got any answers?
thanks in advance

Actually to the best of my knowledge there simply is no way to do that. That's actually something that I think needs a major update.  |

Yeah, this is a meta-data issue and I don't know if there's an easy way to change it.
Looks like there might be something useful related to this topic on the Zune.net site.

Metadata Recommendations for Video Content
You can also add metadata to categorize video content according to the categories available on the Zune device:- Movies
- Music Videos
- TV Shows
The Zune device displays these menu items if it contains any content that has the appropriate MediaClassPrimaryID and MediaClassSecondaryID fields set. If a video does not have these fields set, it is not categorized and is displayed on the device in the "All Videos" list.
Recommended metadata fields for various content categories are outlined in the following tables.
Video
Recommended metadata fields for video that doesn't fall into any of the defined categories are listed in the following table.
| Metadata Name | Windows Media Format SDK Name | Description | Notes | | Title | Title | The title (or name) of the video that is displayed to the user. | | | Description | WM/SubTitleDescription | The description of the contents of the video displayed to the user. | | | Author | Author | The creator of the video. | | | Date | WM/Year | The date the video was created. | | | Genre | WM/Genre | A classification or category type for the video. | | | Primary Media Type | WM/MediaClassPrimaryID | A GUID that indicates that the media file is a video. | GUID should be: DB9830BD-3AB3-4FAB-8A37-1A995F7FF74B | | ISAN | WM/ISAN | An ISO standard (15706-2) global identifier for commercial audiovisual works. | For more information, see www.isan.org. | | Ad-ID | WM/ADID | An advertising industry standard for commercial advertising identification. | For more information, see www.ad-id.org. |

Ok, I understand what its saying. Basically you have to manually edit the meta-data tags and its very specific about what you need to do to get your stuff organized. Basically, they haven't put any effort into letting us easily organize our videos yet.
You can get software to help you do this. But it will be time consuming. |
