DESCRIPTION
iVideo is a movie organizer designed with both consumers and professionals in mind. Whether you have a few videos you'd like to share, or whether you have thousands of movies scattered across multiple hard drives and endless stacks of CDs, iVideo is up to the job. Every feature in iVideo helps you get the most of of your movies by following this design: organize your movies so you can find them easily, play them using the integrated movie player (or the player of your choice), then share your favorite movies with friends and family.

MIKE.MCFADDEN I made a few changes to iVideo in response to the problems reported here: - iVideo is now a 15-day demo instead of limiting you to 25 movies per library. This will allow you to make sure iVideo can handle all of your movies correctly. - Importing is now handled by a separate helper app that runs in the background, which means iVideo will be more stable during imports. Hopefully that will result in a much improved experience for some people.

ALLANMACAM I like the app very much. It really suits what I want it to do and works great, no problems. The only hitch appears if I wish to export a movie or number of movies. The exporting is so very, painfully slow. It's not the machine. I'm on a MacPro Quad-Core Intel with 8 GB of RAM!

VALMAR I really like this application. I was using yflicks before, but that does not work anymore with Snow Leopard. That is why I started looking for an alternative and found this. Really great! Does exactly what I expect. I found just a couple of glitches: - When the window is not in focus, the backgrounds turns to the "striped" look of old versions of MacOSX. This looks a little bad in Leopard, but is just a visual glitch. Also, the buttons in the menubar don't have a Leopard look - If you choose to import the movies into the library, they are put in a simple flat folder with no hierarchy. I would like them to be put into "author" or "year" folder, something like that. - Finally. I would like to be able to remove the "2006","2007","2008" folders which are always empty for me. As you can see, they are all glitches and I hope that the developers can address them

LEXXY Actually, the application does NOT earn the "i" in its name. Organisation ist not an ease and movie import is EXTREMLY slow. Negative things that I have discovered: Batch processing is not possible (having to add Album, Author etc to each video one by one is a pain in the a**) Groupings not possible (i.e Author, Album, etc) Instead of cataloging videos, the application imports them, even if "Keep Videos where they are" is set in the settings panel. Application crashes constantly when playing videos with the iVideo Player (.wmv in specific) Good approach, but sparse performance. Ganz ehrlich: Das Programm hat das "i" in seinen Namen nicht verdient. Die Organisation ist nicht ganz einfach und der Import von Filmen ist EXTREM langsam. Negative Dinge die ich entdeckt habe: Stapelverarbeitung ist nicht möglich. Möchte man zu den Filmen Author, Album, etc hinzufügen, muss man dies für jeden film EINZELN tun. Gruppierungen sind nicht möglich Statts das Programm die Filme kalatogisiert, werden sie importiert, trotz Einstellung dass die Filme dort bleiben sollen wo sie sind. Wenn man den iVideo Player benutzt, stürzt das Prgramm grundsätzlich ab (speziell bei .wmv) Guter Ansatz, aber dürftige Ausführung.

Movie importing can be slow for certain movie formats (mostly MKV and WMV), but unfortunately there's not much I can do about that. The crashes are probably caused by the WMV plugin. For anyone with a large selection of WMV and MKV files, I'd recommend setting QuickTime Player as the default playback program and only using iVideo for organization. The other movie formats generally import very quickly and work great. I'm not sure what you mean by groupings, but you can sort by artist or make a smart playlist that displays movies by an artist. Not being able to edit extended information for multiple movies at the same time was an oversight of mine, and I apologize for that. I will add support for it in the next update. By the way, importing does not necessarily mean copying. If you have your library set to "keep files where they are", your files *will* remain where they are. iVideo uses the import process to gather information about your movies and save that information to the library. The files themselves are not modified in any way, nor is anything copied. - Mike McFadden

IMACSUPPORTER When I start iVideo at says 15-days are over. But ... I installed it for the first time. Am I doing something wrong?

MARKAUK Nicely designed, simple to use... perfect for keeping track of video files. The developer has been very responsive to suggestions and quick to make changes so full marks on that count too. Highly recommended.

STORMCHILD This was a great idea for an app, but its future now seems uncertain. The company website is still up, and it looks like they have a new app called "Acrylic" on the horizon (presumably some sort of painting app?), so apparently they are still active, but iVideo hasn't been updated in two and a half years, and there is no sign that an Intel-native version is even under development -- and the company blog was last updated in 2006. I hope to see this product developed further, or a similar one introduced by another developer.

TOURNESOL Great app, but why has it not been updated since 2005 and why is there not a Universal version available? Seems sloppy to me.

STARBARK I love this app!! Now my favorite piece of software! Although, I would like to see these features: - labels (for those episodes you've already watched) - set OWN thumbnail/"previews" that are already within the video (not search your hd for an image) - pressing 'enter' to rename (just like mac os x---then 'return' will play it) - choice to delete subsections of movie library (2001, 2002, etc.) +ability to put episode number, series title, episode title, season (tv series) + ability to put movie title, year released, genre (movies) + ability to put artist, song title, album (music videos) - remove "preferences" under window because it is already under iVideo Last 5 imports shows a lot more than 5 videos! Otherwise, great app! Will watch this for sure.

JADRANKA iVideo is probably the best movie catalog on MacOSX platform. I have imported 1287 movies (from little funny clips in .wmv format, music video clips in .mpg format, and real movies (2-3 hours) .avi (divx). iVideo handle all this without problems, program is fast and stable, faster and better then other similar apps on the market. What can I say more, I am really happy with iVideo. By the way, trying with 25 movies is more than enough! IVideo is also that fast with thousand of them. MacOSX 10.4.2 QT 7.02 512Mb G4 1,25 MacMini
