I am challenged in getting my videos organzied by genre in Mezzmo. I have many different files in many different file formats on four different hard drives. From my research, it appears some file types support adding metadata to the file which I presume Mezzmo would read - but not all file types: avi's for instance. Here's what appear to be my options:

1.) Copy folder structures from hard drive to Mezzmo. Problem with this is that I will have duplicate genre folders because I have video files on multiple hard drives.

2.) Right click each one of 1,500 video files in Mezzmo and add genre information to it. Problems with this appear to be a.) video genres are not listed in the drop down menu. The genres listed appear to be taken from my music files. Should I just edit a few of my music files to get video genres added to Mezzmo? For instance, taking a jazz song and changing the genre from Jazz to anime? b.) If this works, I still have the daunting task of manually fixing 1,500+ files one by one

3.) Using smart playlists. The only way I see to get this to work on video files that don't have genre information in the metadata is to use file paths. For instance, organize the files on my hard drives into genre folders and then have Mezzmo look for any video files that have Comedy in the filepath name. I tried doing this, but can't seem to get the files to show up in the smart playlists. Maybe because I'm having to do nested playlists?

Can anyone help me with the best way to get my video files organized?
