Looking for a Video organizing app
(1/1)
MrCrispy:
I'm looking for a video catalog app which I can use to manage all my videos. These consist of dvd rips, downloads, web videos etc.
What I want -
* scan a directory of files, show video thumbnails
* fetch imdb/amazon data based on title. A lot of catalog apps can get imdb, but they require me to input the title manually for each movie. Almost all the movie catalog apps have this limitation but I guess they are designed for dvd's and not dvd's ripped to a media server in avi format.
* be able to use an external player. Don't care about this if builtin player is good enough (uses ffdshow and has good controls)
* search by actor/genre/title type of metadata
* smart playlists - e.g. play all movies with Al Pacino which I haven't seen. You get the idea.
Some nice to have features -
* bookmarks in the video with thumbnails for each point - like chapters in dvd movie but definable by user. So I can then then got a favorite scene in a movie by just looking at it.
* search for duplicates
* tagging for video files and then search by tag, play counts etc - the nice things mp3 has
* video format conversion
*
Some really nice and even more specialized features -
* manage, search and download online videos from sites such as youtube
* get movie trailers, link trailer to the actual movie if I have it
* dvd conversion, ripping and burning
*
I am not aware of any such apps. I think it would be quite useful esp since I have built a media server and ripped all my movies and tv dvds to it, as well as downloaded content.

Have a look at today's (Sunday 2-12) offer from Bits du Jour: All My Movies
- it just may offer at least a tenth of your requests... :-\
