hi,
i've just discovered that the tv in my pc also records and i've been playing with it, recording shows and trying to learn the best ways in which to save a recording (i.e. avi, mpeg, etc.).
as a result, some of these video files have gotten lost. here's my question: is there a generic way i can search for these video files on my pc that will bring up EVERY video file, regardless of the way they may have been saved? if so, please explain how. even if i have to search for the individual file types (such as AVI, MPEG, MPEG2, etc.)i would do it if i knew how.
even though i designated a name and file path to store my recordings, they're not showing up there. so either i'm not recording successfully after all, or the recording is being saved elsewhere. again, i'm still learning, so i can't be sure. i'd hate to have these large, useless files hidden somewhere in my pc.
thank you very much.

Search For Videos On My Computer
Mac OS X includes a program called Spotlight that does more than just find files; it can do math and find word definitions, and you can download plug-ins for even more usability. Tweaking Spotlight’s settings can speed up the search process and protect personal files. This video gives you the lowdown on making the most out of Spotlight. Next, hit Play on your video, and once that's done playing, click the Stop button in the upper right corner. Which is the best app for downloading YouTube videos on a Mac?
