VideoDrive overview

VideoDrive makes adding videos to iTunes, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV as easy as drag-and-drop.

  • Add any video format: VideoDrive supports over 20 video formats, including MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV, VIDEO_TS and FLV. If you have it, VideoDrive will put it in iTunes.
  • Identify movies and TV shows: Movies and TV Shows are automatically added to the right category in iTunes. With matching descriptions and artwork found online. You can also categorise videos as Home Videos, Music Videos and even iTunes U videos.
  • Videos on the go: With you videos in iTunes, you can sync them easily to your iPhone or iPad, or watch them on the big screen with Apple TV. VideoDrive can automatically sync newly imported videos to your iOS devices..
  • Share your videos: VideoDrive is compatible with iTunes Home Sharing and Airplay. Share your video collection with anyone in your household and beam videos to Airplay enabled devices.
  • Works with the tools you know:Download videos from Transmission and convert them with HandBrake, Elgato Turbo.264 (HD) or QuickTime.
  • Queue and Process: Queue your new videos and until the time is right to add them to iTunes. Or let VideoDrive do its thing at night. New option to postpone conversions when running on battery power.
  • Inbox folders: With Hot Folders, you can create inbox folders in Finder. Any new video file that arrives in this folder will be added to iTunes, even if VideoDrive is not running.
  • Store videos where you want: Store videos locally or on an external disk or NAS, while keeping your music on your main drive. With VideoDrive, you just set and forget.
  • Add matching subtitles: Like watching foreign videos? VideoDrive will add SRT subtitles files to your videos. And browse the web and automatically download matching subtitles in your language (Requires the Subtitles app).
  • Backup: Optionally keep a copy of your original video files in a separate folder or external disk as a backup.

Note: This demo version is fully functional and allows you to import and tag 15 videos.

Version: 3.7.06
Apple has released macOS Catalina 10.15 on 7 October 2019. The latest version of VideoDrive is not compatible with this version as iTunes has been retired. When launching VideoDrive you will get a warning and VideoDrive will quit. If you rely heavily on VideoDrive, it is advised not to upgrade yet. If you do upgrade, all videos previously imported by VideoDrive into iTunes will become available in the new TV app. VideoDrive 3 will most likely not be made compatible with macOS Catalina as it would require a complete rewrite of the software.

Version 3.7.05 is also NOT working correctly with Mojave, or it has somehow taken five steps backward in its ability to scan or even add simple IMDB data to the metadata of a file. The result is a "lost" video, added to iTunes somewhere, listed as something that has no relation to the title, genre, year, etc. Mind you, the result I describe is achieved for me only after asking the app to simply copy the page info from my browser, after I've done all the work. Please test and fix.

3.7.03 states incompatibility with Mojave. Is an update from 10.13 to 10.14 really that hard? Looking forward to said update, as the app is very well done.
