Nice update, it now supports video conversions using HandBrake. Very fast. Had one crash but it seems to be in beta.
Before I used method 4 to create non-converted copies of my videos for my hacked white AppleTV. For christmas I got a black AppleTV, so now I'm using method 6 which converts videos. So, this HandBrake support is a welcome upgrade.
Very nice plugin, I have updated to the studio Pro version so I can create WMV files too. Clearly in a Windows-free world, this tool would not be needed, but it's nice that you know you can always play WMV files when needed (or create them).
My favorite feature is taht it just works in QuickTime, so need to use a separate player.
Happy to see this is still being actively developed. Metadata was broken recently and within a few days an update was released, which is nice.
Short review: Importing videos is very fast (with the default settings), but the amount of metadata added to shows is not that extensive. It's getting everything from IMDb which is great for movies, but not always for TV Shows. The quality of the covers has gone up in recent versions so that's a bonus. All in all, still a happy user.
Very handy tool, I finally have all my tv shows in iTunes! This tool is great in what it does, and it offers enough options to customize my videos the way I want it.
