Movie Organiser for OS X?
I’m looking for a movie organiser for mac that I import all of my AVI’s / MP4’s into and give them album art + blurbs and ratings. It would be good to be able to see them in genre view or other views such as year made or alphabetical order. A nice interface is preferable obviously and the ability to control it with the apple remote.
Free would be good too.
Don’t suggest iTunes because I’ve tried using it and found it to be a whole load of hassle

iTunes covers what you want. The only problem you have is getting the videos into iTunes.

That will convert your videos and push them into iTunes.
Album art :: Works
Ratings :: Works
Genre View :: Works
All the other shit :: Works
What you wants works with iTunes if you know how to use it.
@johnpowell I know that iTunes will do all of that I simply don’t want to convert my movies. I have over 600GB of them and it’s just a huge hassle. Converting to MP4 is not something I really want to do.
I think you are screwed. All the applications I know of use QTKit for playback. I don’t know of any organizers that use ffmpeg for playback.
You can batch process the conversion. Drag all the files in and go to sleep.
edit :: VLC uses ffmpeg for playback. That is why it plays damn near everything.
Ah problem solved, I found something Plex, just add your video’s from an external HD and it uses the name of the video (or containing folder) to get the IMDB info for the movie or TV Show
What about Miro www.opensourcemac.org ? Don’t know if it quite fits the bill but might be worth checking out as well. I think you can use to organize all your media content. I tend to to use VLC and the “treat as a pipe” function but I know this isn’t what you’re looking for.
