Importing media files
You can import audio, video, and image files into Media Server so the DVD
player can display or play them. You can import files from media programs
(such as Windows Media Player) or directly from your hard drive.
Important You can import files only from hard drives, not from
mapped drives or removable media drives. If you have
data on mapped or removable drives that you want to play
through the DVD player, copy the files to your hard drive
and import them from the hard drive.
