VideoDrive
Apr 24 2008

LEMMING  What are the filenames of the TV shows? VideoDrive seems to work best when the TV show AVI files have the following name structure: "Show Name S01E03 Episode Name.avi"

So, for instance, a recent episode of South Park would look like this: "South Park S12E03 Major Boobage".

Try renaming your video files (episode name is optional) and see if that helps.

LEMMING  Yes, of course you can do that. But VideoDrive allows you to tag your AVIs with IMDB info, cover art, and other tag info. Normally, you can't do that with AVIs or MKVs; you have to convert them to MOV, MP4, or M4V files first. VideoDrive provides a quick and easy fix to iTunes inability to read tagged AVI files.

VideoDrive

LEMMING  There's nothing amiss here. It's perfectly clear. It says "VideoDrive makes it easy to add videos to iTunes without converting them or losing quality." No conversion is necessary when adding to iTunes for viewing in iTunes or Front Row. VideoDrive easily adds AVI, MP4, and MKV files without converting them.

However, if you wish to add non-compatible movie files (AVI, MKV) to your iPod, iPhone, or AppleTV, then of course they'll have to be converted because those devices only support MP4, MOV (not all), and M4V.

The difference is between iTunes (an app) and Apple devices (iPod, iPhone and AppleTV). VideoDrive allows iTunes to play MKVs and AVIs without conversion. The same Quicktime trick won't work with iPods, iPhones, and AppleTVs; hence the need for conversion if that's the type of movie file you have.

*****

LEMMING  Awesome video file tagging app. I use it to tag my movies and TV shows to be watched with Front Row on my Mac Mini connected to my TV.

I like it better than MetaX. VideoDrive is smarter about grabbing movie and TV descriptions. It supports multiple video file types and it has many tweakable options to match the type of meta-data tagging you want to do.

Development has been rapid and bugs seems to be quickly fixed. I like the interface but the app doesn't yet have drag 'n' drop capability. This feature definitely needs to be added.

Overall, this is a very promising and useful app.

LEMMING  Make sure you back up your movies first, because I've lost six movies in two days to MetaX. The movies just vanished after I added metadata.

Also, often the metadata doesn't stick. This app needs a lot more work.

RODNEYOK  I found the hole in the error checking code and patched it. Lost files shouldn't be possible any more.

****.

LEMMING  Thanks for the Leopard-compatible update.

By far the best keystroke logger. It's unobtrusive and doesn't suck up CPU cycles like all the other keystroke logger.

LEMMING  logKext no longer works under Leopard (OS X 10.5). It's going to require an update.

LEMMING  It's so great to finally see some utilities for dealing with the irritating MKV container format.

MoKgVM2DVD is a bit buggy, but it perfectly converted a MKV to AVI for me.

LEMMING  It's great to see an update to NicePlayer. I love this app. Unfortunately, it still can't play second audio on DivX files (via CoreVideo) even though that feature was supposed added to version 0.95.

JBTULE  We'll need more information to fix this, as far as the media i have multiple audio tracks show up in the movie menu and are able to be disabled or enabled individually.

Acquisition

***½.

LEMMING  The last two versions of Acquisition don't work right for me. Acquisition is using over 600 MB of RAM and 75% CPU on my iMac G5. Specifically, the culprit is something called AqLibraryCore that is launched whenever Acquisition is launched.

I'm going back to Cabos for now.
