Comments.Text: Wow that's surprising scidb can read cbh files. I thought all chessbase database software was proprietary to stop people ripping them off. I'd be very surprised if you could get video working.

Title: How to configure scidb to use ChessBase files like ChessBase?
ThreadText: # How to configure scidb to use ChessBase files like ChessBase?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2015-03-13)
  
  I've just installed [scidb](http://scidb.sourceforge.net), hoping that it would read my ChessBase Fritz Trainer collection.  
  It was able to read the .CBH files but no video appears. I don't know if that is even supported.  
  If it is, how can I use it ? If it isn't, how can I mimic this behavior ?
