Fantastic app, works amazingly well Fantastic app, works amazingly well

I’ve been using MetaX for ages, but everything imports into iTunes as “Home Video”. I found a recommendation for iDentify on a forum, and I have to say it is amazing. The quality of the matching, and the data that is automatically populated is great. I’m going back through my movie collection and retagging everything. It’s well worth the price.

App crasht in Yosemite App crasht in Yosemite

Leider funktioniert die nicht ganz billige App nicht. Sobald man ein Videofile bearbeitet bleibt die App eingefroren.

I bought this due to the inability to easily modify the movie tags within iTunes. I wanted my movies I backed up to have that same look and feel as if it was purchased through the store on my AppleTV. This program does exactly that. No complaints there. I have 65 movies that needed to go through this process. Easy drag and drop. However - at least 80% failed in the search. This is quite annoying. For example - if you have 300 - Rise of an Empire - no match. It has to be 300: Rise of an Empire. Why can’t you return a best match? If you have Raid 2 - no love - the title is The Raid 2. Now you have to go to IMDB and cut and paste the name and rescan. Hopefully this does the trick. Most times it corrects the problem. In another example - Hunger Games 2 did not work no matter what. Now you have to copy the url and paste the ID that is embedded in the string into the app and rescan. This works 100% of the time. The FAQ explains all this but still doesn’t excuse this simple idea. End result is you get what you want. Keep in mind though this app is so supposed to make your life easier and it doesn’t.

I have tried several tagging programs, and this is the best I’ve found. The interface is a little basic, but with some help from the developer I have got it working nicely. It is a great time-saver and well worth the money if you are keen to get your metadata just right.

This former great piece of software does not work well with iTunes anymore after Yosemite update. So do not buy until this is fixed...

------------

iDentify is an OS X application for tagging iTunes compatible MP4 video files.

Normally, when you convert a video file to the format used by iOS devices such as the iPad, iPod, iPhone or AppleTV, all the information about the video is missing! The only thing you see is the name of the file where the title of the video should be! Enter iDentify!

iDentify looks at the name of files as they are added to it. Based on the name of the file, iDentify determines wether it is a TV Show or movie based on common naming conventions. From the file name, a lot of information can be gleaned, such as movie title, show name, season number, episode number, year of release, and imdb code. iDentify can then automatically look on The TVDB, The Movie DB, and tagChimp to gather more information about the title, such as description, rating, chapter names and more! iDentify also inspects the file and can automatically turn on the HD flag on the movie when the resolution of the file goes above a set minimum!

iDentify not finding info about your video? Fixing it is easy! Simply edit the movie title or show name to match that found on theMovieDB.org, or theTVDB.com (respectively) and click rescan!

Want to change the tags of multiple files in one fell swoop? No problem! Add the files to iDentify, select all the ones you want to edit from the list, and click edit. All changes you make are now applied to all selected files!

When you are done, just click "Process Files" to write the new information to your files, and when iDentify is done, you are ready to add your videos to iTunes!

This is the full (registered) version of iDentify. It includes features like automatic file renaming, auto add to iTunes, the ability to automatically process files when they are added and more.
