IJULIA81 I bought this software through a MU Promo deal. It took the developers a while (almost a day) to E-Mail me my serial number. As I learned later, the developers do have regular jobs and were not able to sent out serials throughout the day. This was an unfortunate lack in communications, because many of us are used to automatically generated serial numbers being sent out pretty fast. So, if you order and it takes a while, please take that into consideration. The application itself is great and really suits my needs. I have many Movie Files in the .avi format that I cannot import into iTunes (some even don't get played in QT). So I was forever looking for a way to have them available in Frontrow. And here yFlicks comes in. You just drop your files in the app and it creates Aliases through which you can access all the files that yFlicks will accept in Frontrow. Cool! If you store movies in yFlicks, you can also download Artwork from Amazon, though I haven't figured out yet where to change which Amazon to search (switch from the US Store to the German one for example). You can also import videos from YouTube and other sites into yFlicks (through an entry directly in Safari, how cool is that!!!) and you can export your movie files to a couple of different formats. Those are all the cool features of yFlicks. Unfortunately, it also has a downside: It get's incredibly slow. I have about 100-150 files in there, separated in Groups and Sub-Groups, but switching between groups sometimes takes up to 10-15 seconds. Adjusting the title of a movie to enable search on Amazon also takes about 15 seconds. And I am running on a MacBook (late 2006) 2 Ghz CD, 2 GB memory. Overall: yFlicks does the job I want it to do: It enables me to watch all my video files in Frontrow, which is really, really great. The sluggish performance is annoying, but since I now only add files and don't do anything else, I can live with it. (Version 3.0.3) |
