Sape,
RE: your question about replacing mpgs with MODs.  

The XML file is pretty easy to understand.  If you open it up in a text
editor like Gedit, you'll see that your videos are represented by an
"ASSET" XML tag.  So run a search and replace to replace "mpg" with
"MOD".  I do such things like this:
1) Backup your existing XML file
2) open the original in vi or other editor
3) if your editor is vi, run a subsitution command to replace the mpgs
with MODs..something like this:
:1,$ s/\.mpg/\.MOD/g


HV4.2 always craps out for me.  I've got some things to do today, but if
I get a chance I'll give it a try.
