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
- be able to use an external player (I have zoom and mpc). 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
Some nice to have features -
- bookmarks in the video with thumbnails for each point - like chapters in dvd movie but definable by user
- search for duplicates
- tagging for video files and then search by tag, smart playlists, play counts etc - the nice things mp3 has
- video format conversion
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 to it.
