Importing and exporting header files
Edits you make using Windows Media File Editor are stored in the header of the file you have edited (except for edits related to trimming a file). After you have completed editing a file, you can export the header information by using the Export header file command on the File menu. This is useful if you want to save a record of the information or if you want to reuse the information. To reuse a header file, use the Import header file command on the File menu.
The following paragraphs explain what happens to data that is already in the header of your Windows Media file when you import another header file:
- Attributes such as title, author, copyright, description, or rating. The existing values are overwritten with the values in the header file you import.
- Script commands. Existing script commands are not typically overwritten when you import a header file that has script commands in it. However, if you import a header file that has a script command at the same time, type, and parameter as a script command that is already in the Windows Media file, the existing script command is overwritten.
- Markers. Existing markers are not overwritten when you import a header file with markers in it, unless there are two markers at the same time and with the same names. In this case, only one of the markers is saved.
