What is the current best practice for managing movies with
digikam. I

could not find anything specific on the online manual.

<br>
video management is very different from photo management. All what
Digikam can do is read videos eventually. I don't think he would
have to do anything else.
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I don't see how it differs. Author, time taken, tags. I would not
expect digikam to import any data from the video just save any user
created metadata to an associated XMP file. Just like what people do
when they create a JPG of the video and associate the image with
that video.<br>

On my system -- Ubuntu 14.04 64bit with Mate Desktop -- the
videos can
<br>
be run ok and each video has a thumbnail. In particular I am
interested
<br>
in storage of metadata. I don't want to store metadata in the
video file
<br>
but in an associated XMP file.

<br>
I know of no standard to do so - but would be glad to prove wrong,
so it's pretty useless
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
What's wrong with just saving the database data (e.g. tags) to the
file in an image format rather than a video format. I agree that
there is currently no standard but who cares as long as the data can
be exported and imported.<br>

Thanks for letting me know, I thought it got lost.<br>
