MagicManager allows you to organize and manages video clips in the Video category. The video clips come from your own camera (using it's PC video mode) or from disk. Perhaps you may have downloaded video clips from the Internet.
To view video clips, you can specify a video player for video playback. There are many types and formats of video (AVI, MPG, MOV, ASF, RA, etc). Magic Manager only supports video in the AVI files format in the Video category.
