Hi
Just curious - I think I probably know the answer already - is it possible to associate a fingerprint with a recording marked as type Video?
The way I would achieve this is, put the video into something like VLC Media player and convert it to MP3 and then fingerprint it from there - I know this may not be overly useful or staright-forward for most users, but I think it could be useful in helping to possibly identify identical video entries?
If not then that’s fine I’ll just put in annotations instead.

Sure. It’s of course not possible to distinguish a video recording from the pure audio version with identical audio that way, but otherwise you can absolutely have the AcoustID for the video.
If the video is in a format supported by Picard you can use Picard for that. Or convert the audio to a supported format as you suggested.

OK cool I thought it might not be possible as the system see’s the recording as video and AcoustID’s is a technology for audio not video.
Picard will create and submit AccoustID for supported formats, no need to convert in VLC first.

Thanks - i didn’t realise this at the time of writing my first post - thought it only supported audio formats
