Using Playlist Builder

For convenience, Alcorn McBride provides a free Windows application for making

playlists using a graphical interface. This program is called Playlist Builder, and it can

be downloaded from the software section the Alcorn McBride website at

http://www.alcorn.com

Here is a step-by-step guide to get started making playlists with Playlist Builder.

1. Open the Playlist Builder application

2. Select the DVM8400 in the list of supported devices and click OK.

3. Select the event you wish to insert into the playlist. Since “Play Clip” is the event

used to play a video, we will use it for this example.

4. Using the arrows in the ‘parameters’ box, you can select which type of Play

command you wish to use. For example, “By Number” would allow you to enter a

clip number. “By File” would allow you to enter the actual file name. If you are

using the compact flash card that shipped inside your DVMHD, select ‘By

Number’ and enter the number ‘1’ in the field.

5. Click OK to add the event to the playlist

6. Add as many commands as you like! Once you are done, you can save the

playlist file and transfer it to your DVMHD!
