Nice interface, easy to use, but VERY crash prone. Given that development has not moved since Sept 2010, I'd seriously advice not buying it.

Some of the things I like:
It keeps your files in the original Location if desired, has flexible sorting options, allows you to change the video thumbnails easily (either by the frame or by drag and drop), gives you 3 great view options, video thumbnail view is saved per playlist, allows folders for Playlists, tracks your play count and the location you left off, great search function
I have a few minor feature requests for the app and I hope it is in active development:
-It allows ratings but I'd love to Color videos as well.
-The integrated player is good but I use VLC to play videos since I can increase the speed in VLC. This is a request but not really necessary since it works well using vlc since you have a log of what you watched.
-It has a really cool web page feature where it creates a web page interface for videos of your choice. This works great just to organize tutorials and I would like to be able to organize these into folders.
-I'd like to see the name of videos word wrapped in the thumbnail view. Still if you expand the size of the thumbnails you can usually work it out.
I found a way to share the library so I can use it on multiple computers since I store videos on a portable drive and shuffle them between my desktop and laptop. I am testing some other methods with Sugarsync, still I think this should be a little more straightforward, but nothing else I've tested even does this so I am happy.
Bottom line is It does a what it does better than anything I've tested and I have tested a bunch of apps such as Usher, Leap, Reinforced Together, (and many others I cant remember now) for this task. Most apps force you into copying your files to their database or are too limited in their feature set or focus on features I don't need. I recognize my uses are unique, but am very happy with how iVideo works.

iVideo has worked out great for my purposes and I tried many other programs for the same task (Usher, iDive, etc)
It has a great feature where it still finds the videos if you rename the source folders in finder or reorganize files on your drive, which I also think is great. Lesser software would lose the files and have you repoint the alias to the original.
There are other cool things like the ability to set preview to frame (where you pause the video will be the cover of the video) and the ability to resume where you left off (if you use ivideos integrated player).
I have no idea why iVideo is scored so low on MU. It has been completely rock solid stable on both of my systems and deserves a far higher score.
If you have a lot of small videos that you want to manage in an efficient and organized way, test this out.

All the iVideo created "Aliases" remain the same size as the original files (unlike true aliases) but no app will open them. WTF!
I have no idea how to correct this problem and await a reply from iVideo tech support.
This is a serious bug which needs urgent attention before others could lose their video files.

Does anyone have any tips on how to get iVideo to actually work at all without crashing on any attempted use? The last attempted install was even on a brand new MacBook Air with no possibility of any conflicting apps as it was out of the box.
I would give this app a rating of 0 and to clearly avoid until I know it can actually run.

The whole point of positioning iVideo as a swiss army knife for video conversion is that we don't need to resort to other conversion tools for basic tasks.
For example, changing the video exported from a HD cam to a blu-ray compatible stream.
Surely that is not beyond iVideo ?
When tools like VisualHub were prevalent, DVD preparation was probably the de-facto usage, but in 2010, prepping source files for Blu-Ray and home streaming devices seems to be the endgame.
For heavens sake, there are presets for AppleTV !!!!
Talk about niche product.

I have sent 2 emails to the developer, but I haven't received any answer yet.
I hope to have news from him, because, if not, I have to open a dispute in the Resolution Center of Paypal.

Very bad experience.
iVideo has some tests to make sure you choose a valid movie library folder, but the thumbnail cache folder would unfortunately be accepted since (1) it has a Movie Library and Trash folder, (2) it contains files that match the names of the movies in your library (it's how iVideo matches the thumbnails to your movies), and (3) the folder is not being used by any other libraries you may have. iVideo would then be set to import files to the same place where it's saving the thumbnails!
If this is indeed the case, I apologize for not making it more clear that the library folders in the Application Support folder are actually the cache files, and for not noticing the problem with selecting that folder as the movie library. What's especially unfortunate is that I was going to change the organization of the various support files in a later update, and that would have inadvertently fixed the problem.

1. iVideo does not save a thumbnail until *after* the copy is complete, so there's no way it would overwrite both the original file and the copied file.
2. the overwriting problem only affected the "keep my files where they are" library type since it was due to the way aliases auto-resolve (aliases are only used by that library type) and only happened if you manually directed iVideo to save your files to its thumbnail cache folder.
3. iVideo's 8kb thumbnails do not give "unsupported format" errors.
My guess right now is that HARRISTYPE merely thought they were thumbnails, but in actuality something else went wrong. Until I hear back I won't know what happened. At the very least it appears to be an isolated issue.

Am I doing something wrong?
