Tag program for video/movie files?

Hey, gang, I'm looking for a program I can use to mass edit the tags for my movie files so I can easily move all of them into a TV show. iTunes allows me to do this one at a time, but this is extremely tedious -- what I need to be able to do is select 20 or 30 "movies", mark them as TV shows and enter the show name for them all just as if I were doing this for a series of songs in an album.
In the old days I used to use Dr. Tag (and I think a program called Tag and Rename) to help manage my audio files, but I have no idea where to turn to for this kind of video file management, if there is even such a beast. A Google of the web didn't reveal anything useful but if anyone knows I figured you experts here would.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I wrote a program to mass change the video type of selected tracks.
Go to my home page:
http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/
and click the Download button.
Unzip to a folder and run "teridonsitunesscripts.exe". A new window will appear.
Switch to iTunes and select the movies you want to change. Switch back to "Teridon's iTunes Scripts" window and select the last one -- "itunes_vidkind", then click "Run Selected Script". It'll ask you what video type you want to change them to (Movie, MusicVideo, or TVShow).
Repeat the process (select tracks, run itunes_vidkind) as needed.
If my program helps you, please consider a Paypal donation via the link in the program window, or via the link at my home page.

    Hi
    Did You ever use - iPhoto ?
    Did You may be direct iPhoto to a different Photo Library
    As iMovie tries to find the appropriate photo library - it can get lost if iPhoto direct it into a Library on a not connected external hard disk or to a strange location - And iMovie HANGS.
    Do - When no other program is running that might interfere
    • Start iPhoto - BUT NOW KEEP alt-key (option key) DOWN during the full Start-Up process
    • Now iPhoto let's You select Photo Library
    • Select the one in Your Account / Home folder / Pictures ! !
    • Then iPhoto should start up OK
    • Now Quit iPhoto
    • START iMovie
    Does it still hangs - then I would suspect - iMovie Pref. file
    If it Run's OK - Then HURRAY !

  • Quicktime video (.mov file) will not load and play in Firefox 3.6.16

    I have a computer with Firefox 3.6.16 installed that will not play Quicktime videos (.mov files) in the browser. This is a desktop computer.
    Another computer (laptop) with exactly the same version of Firefox installed will load and play them perfectly in the Quicktime player.
    Both computers have Quicktime addin 7.6.9.0 installed and designated as the default application for Quicktime movies.
    Both computers play the videos correctly in IE 8.
    When attempting to play the video in Firefox, the player window opens and attempts to load the video, but soon seems to freeze leaving a black window open where the player should be.
    From what I have observed, this seems to be a problem related specifically to this computer, and since the video plays in IE I have ruled out the firewall blocking loading from the site.

    Hi, I've exactly the same problem, 'cept I've XP Pro. When I say exactly, I mean the format used is HDV 1080i60, along with everything else there.
    And I'm right there with you. Why Quicktime can't play a natively encoded HDV Quicktime file (using Final Cut Pro), is beyond me, but basically, I've used K-Lite Codec Pack, and Quicktime. Neither work, although Quicktime does ask for internet connectivity to download resources or something similar (I don't have Internet Access at home). I've used VLC on a friend's PC, and, while it works, there is a very strange, and irritating flicker where there's heavy movement
    Where can I get the resource needed, as another party needs to view the clip, and they already have it. So if they can update their codec library or similar, then that would be much better (as I wouldn't need to upload a FullHD Video again)
    thanks

  • Thumbnails for QuickTime MOV files?

    Hi
    Is there a way to make Windows Explorer create thumbnails for QuickTime MOV files? I'm really desperate to get a solution. Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Alfred

    Hi,
    You should have known this would be caused by some registry entries were modified incorrectly by some software, especially third party codec pack.
    I would suggest you import the a good known copy from a good display windows 7 computer, just import such this content:
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov]
    @="WMP11.AssocFile.MOV"
    "Content Type"="video/quicktime"
    "PerceivedType"="video"
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\OpenWithProgids]
    "AppX55e91fphzr8a583p8cbxv7jpr8bk6xb9"=hex(0):
    "AppXhjhjmgrfm2d7rd026az898dy2p1pcsyt"=hex(0):
    "WMP11.AssocFile.MOV"=hex(0):
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\PersistentHandler]
    @="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\ShellEx]

  • How do I watch videos (.mov files) from my iphone 5 on my windows vista pc?

    Hi I've downloaded my videos from my iphone 5 to my PC which runs Windows Vista, but I cannot work out how to play the videos (.mov files)
    I've tried the latest Quicktime player (7.7.6) and also Quicktime 7.6 and the audio plays fine but the video is slow and jumpy. The video plays fine on my iphone.
    I've tried iTunes on my pc but I have the same problem.
    The problem is even worse with VLC media player in that the image is distorted and pixelated, but again the audio is fine.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

    You need to import the videos to iTunes and synch via iTunes

    Anybody have any feedback from the MacBook Pro 2011 Repair Extension Program for Video Issues?
    I had my early 2011 15 inch 8,2 repaired (free) under the extension program. The machine now appears to run well - but much hotter than before. The case is significantly hotter - especially at the GPU corner and the fans are constantly on moderate to high (not full). Anybody else experiencing similar changes?

  • Can I repair an OnLocation CS5.5 for Mac MOV file that was corrupted by a crash?

    Hi,
    I have a 16Gb MOV file from OnLocation CS5.5 for Mac that has been corrupted. The program froze and then crashed mid record and the file is now unusable. Is there any way that the file can be repaired or the video footage recovered?
    Thanks,
    Larry

    I believe it's a DV file in a MOV container but I'm not certain since OnLocation for Mac gives no options for configuring the codec etc.
    Looking at posts about the windows version in seems that it uses a dummy header and replaces it with the real thing when you stop the recording. I was wondering if the Mac version does something similar and if it does an the header from a working file be transplanted across somehow.
    Thanks,

  • I cannot play a video .mov file in Photoshop Elements 12, it shows as a blank white screen

    I cannot play a video file (.mov) in Adobe Photoshop Elements, only can hear sound, and shows as a blank white screen. 

    Margie
    Thanks for the replies.
    I did some homework on your camera, and it appears to be recording H.264 video compression, Linear PCM Stereo, with a .mov file extension.
    Let us do a check list to make sure we agree on the details...
    a. You cannot play back the video in the Elements Organizer 12
    b. Can you import this video into Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace with the program's Add Media/Files and Folder/Project Assets? Does it then show up in Project Assets with an image in the thumbnail? Can you drag the video from Project Assets to the Timeline and have the Edit Mode monitor display that video and play it back there when you hit the monitor play button?
    From what I have read of your camera, you could be recording 1920 x 1080 @ 60 progressive frames per second. Can you supply an information on that? What are you or the project setting as the project preset (See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio.)
    Could you explain what you mean by
    and can play it in the video editor, but it just shows the frames, not a real video play.
    I am searching the Internet to see if I can find a sample file that I can download.
    More later.

  • No thumbnails for some .mov files Bridge CS5

    I'm using Bridge CS5 to organise some video which has been digitised from a sony camera in File Maker Pro X. My operating system is Mac OS X. I have Quicktime player 10.1 and have just checked for updates.
    Some of my .mov files show thumbnails which can be watched in Bridge. Other folders just show the thumbnails as black rectangles - these can be watched in a pop up window but not directly in the Bridge preview panel.
    The files were all digitised in the same way and recorded on the same camera so should be the same format.
    After looking at discussions on here I have tried updating QuickTime and clearing the cache but no dice.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Claire

    That is odd that if it was recorded on same camera they are different.  I do know that the thumbnail is a complex issue.  A little foggy on this as it has been awhile, but if you get a black thumb it is the way the marker of the first frame is recorded.  In some cases this shows a black frame.  Hope this gives you some clue to do a web search for the real answer.

  • Best categorizing program for video?

    I would think that categorizing video clips for easy searches would be getting more and more popular now that hard drive space for storing files is more affordable. I've been trying to get my media organized in FCP and am now realizing that I need a separate program for categorization. Ive narrowed my search to two.. idive and foottracker.
    Does anyone have any experience with foottracker and idive? Any recommendations or pros and cons of those programs?
    I went through a similar dilemma when I was first trying to categorize my digital camera pictures. Apple did not have iphoto at that time so I bought a 3rd party program (iview) and as iphoto got more and more integrated with other apple software I had to redo all my keywording to work with iphoto.
    Foottracker seems to function the most like iphoto for video.. Maybe Ill get lucky and apple will buy out foottracker and make it part of the ilife suite? I have a feeling Ill buy a 3rd party program.. then apple will make an integrated one and Ill have to start from scratch again.
    Thanks!

    can iview keep track of time codes?
    Yes, IIRC.
    import video?
    Yes.
    break long files into subclips to assign keywords to sections? import into fcp? etc..
    No....
    Well, now you've hit on the central point, and why I don't use any of these apps having tried them out.
    You know what the best database for cataloguing video is? You're using it. It's called Final Cut Pro. (Or Avid, or your NLE of choice). FCP is the bets place to categorise and sort your footage, and that's just that. Any external software that did it - well, you'd just end up importing that info into FCP anyway.
