iVideo

I have started using iVideo and I like the app a lot. Can anybody tell me where the app saves the tags & notes etc that you enter? Is it possible to export all video information (time, date, notes, tags, etc) from iVideo?

What's New Version 7.0.1: Fixed issues with inline editing in list view. Fixed a bug with adding online videos using https. Fixed a crash involving the transitions between playlists and videos. Fixed a few minor visual glitches. Other bug fixes. Tested v7.0 and had few bugs indeed Now 7.0.1 has the same bugs as the previous version... i'm under yosemite and when trying to modify Video conversion setting in preference, the pane for mp4 when adding custom settings is all messed up and no way to go back to any functions. Force quit is the only option... Anyone experiencing this? i guess I'm no lucky with this one :D

I've always liked this app and have spent considerable time organising my iVideo 5 library – applying pictures to clips to act as previews, including DVD covers for movies. The problem is, every time (out of 4 attempts) I've tried to update to version 6 of iVideo, the application crashes. And if I uninstall iVideo 5, install version 6 and try to swap the video library files to get my playlists and so on, the application again either doesn't open or destroys my library. Is there a way around this? I know the developer keeps an eye on these comments, so if you are reading this, can you make any suggestions? It would also be nice if, in version 6, there was the choice to have the file names under the files in icon view as opposed to overlaid on the clips themselves. At least if they are overlaid there should be a solid colour behind them so the titles are legible.

The search sometimes struggles with huge amount of movies but otherwise very simple but highly usable app for video fanatics.

still no sign for mkv support... why is that?

If you have a Smart List created using "Playlist is 'Source playlist 1'", "Playlist is 'Source playlist 2'", etc. with Live updating, and you add new videos into the Souce playlists, The Smart Playlist doesn't update with the new videos as expected. Even quitting and re-opening doesn't work. You must edit the Smart Playlist and re-save it and then the new videos appear.

Seems to cause a large memory leak within Window Server. Not sure if number of videos added has any bearing. Open the app and immediately my Window Server memory starts climbing from starting point of around 150 MB to very high if you leave it open for an hour+. It grew to 2 GBs at one point. Quit that app and it's stops growing. Watching Activity monitor, the memory moves up 1-2 MB every 5-10 seconds. Quitting the app may cause it to slowly start going back down or at least drop a little bit then stop, but if the memory has grown to multiple GBs, the only solution is to reboot to get the memory back quickly. Purging the system memory doesn't have any affect and it remains Active memory.

I am using this software quite for some time and was a bit worried as well that iVideo start to be a Abandonware. Therefore I was more than happy to see that there have been some actions made lately to update iVideo not only to work better with the latest OSX version but also add new features as well. I encountered some issues which I have reported to Mike and there was for each bug report a fix so far - some been fixed within one day only. Anyone who is looking for a software to organize your movie files I really encourage to download the software and give a try with a trial - there are some features you wont see on the spot but are very handy for the daily workflow. Comparing to other apps for the same purpose the price tag is very comprehensive and for my personally is iVideo the best choose regarding features and price. I hope there are more peoples who see the potential of this software and support with there purchase future development.

updating folders does not work, live or manually ...new movies don't show up in the playlists

I have been using it for about 2 hours and it has crashed about 10 times already. 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.

In my opinion iVideo is really great. I wanted a single app to manage my educational and tutorial Videos, PDF manuals, etc but opted for an app that handles each well. For videos, iVideo is by far the best I've tested. I use it for managing my library of tutorials and find it to be extremely well suited for this task. This is a robust professional application meant to manage a huge amount of videos in a variety of formats. 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.

Abandonware?

Anybody having problems with iVideo and OS 10.7? I've written to support twice but yet to receive a reply or acknowledgement. Are they still in business?

Does the job. I use it to organize the many video clips from my still camera.

1 week have passed from when I have purchased iVideo, but I haven't received any license yet. 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.

iVideo crashes all the time when I drag a video into the app to tag it.

It's not to bad, but it crashes all the time I add the movies to it.

I don't know how, but iVideo has just converted all 850 of my video files into "aliases". None of them are accessible as clicking on them in the Finder or trying to view them from within iVideo simply produces a dialogue which states the originals could not be found! 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.

I did buy this app today with mu promo. So far this app is stable, and a real help in sorting all the little YouTube files. Its running most of formats smooth and proper.Good app,- good prize.

Still no ability to convert of prepare files for Blu-Ray creation, or even a preset for BD5 or BD9.
