Answer for Pat to his question from Google Groups:

Hi Pat,

Make sure that you are copying videos in the `C:/Users/NAME-OF-THE-USER/.kalite/content` folder.

The user running KA Lite should be the same one, meaning that they must have permissions to access the `.kalite/content` folder where the videos are located.

Once videoscan is finished, you should see the `Annotation complete...` message.

Below screenshot is from Windows 8.1, but should be the same as on Windows 10:

Many thanks for your reply.  
The videos which were downloaded with uTorrent have been copied into Users/User/.Kalte/Content folder and started the scan process, as there are 15,000 files does this process take a long time or will it fail/time out trying to sync this volume of data.  
Kind regards  
Pat Bergin

Hi Pat!

Yes, depending on the hardware of your setup, scanning a full content folder with videos (English one is 35 Gb), can take several hours.

Check the [experience and the time needed reported by other KA Lite users on GitHub](https://github.com/learningequality/ka-lite/issues/5196).

Content scanning process in Kolibri is being developed as an improved experience of videoscan in KA Lite.
