Various-sources VidID suggestion

Post by Phantasmagoriat » Wed Mar 12, 2008 3:49 pm

...just a suggestion:

With a lot of amv's that use various audio/video sources, I think the VidID tag looses some functionality. When two or more sources are used in the Anime, Song, or Artist listing, the VidID displays it as 'Various(#)' This is especially counterproductive when an AMV only uses 2 sources to begin with, or when someone uses an extra anime/song for their intro/outro.
I'm aware of at least one person that doesn't like this:
"ps. check out The VidID tag Sticky"

I have and I've come to a conclusion that VidID sucks with videos that have 2+ source footage and 2+ songs. The result is just various (2), various (2), various (2), various (2), .... nothing that really tells me anything I want to know.

I know that it'd be impossible to list all video and audio footage with multi-editor projects since they may consist of 100+ shorter videos, all with different sources. I'm just using two anime series here. 2 titles can't be too much to list, yet VidID wouldn't list them because 2 is already "too many".

My opinion, useless feature for all but single anime, single song videos. VidID is for lazy people. Seeing "various (2)" printed on my screen makes me see red. Sorry.

However, under the Category entry, it displays the first two. ex.) Category: Instrumental, Action, etc.
I wouldn't mind seeing something similar for the other listings. Perhaps it could be of the form:

Type: entry1, entry2, Various(#) //in the case of 3+ sources
Type: entry1, entry2 //in the case of only 2 sources

Or maybe there's a better way.
Again, this is just a suggestion...
