Re: Questions about Photo Gallery

I was wondering about this and video tagging in Photogallery (xvid, divx,
avi, etc...) . I have tagged a few videos with some info (working on a
family project, wanted to keep the tags straight) and when I logged in as
another user, the tags were not there for the videos, they were all marked as
untagged. It seems like if it were stored in the video itself, I would be
able to see it via another user. I don't want to spend hours organizing only
to have to do it all over again if I have to re-install or restore. Any
information would be very helpful.
