I am looking for application that will help me organize movies, clips and other videos I have.

I tell it a folder to watch, and then I can mark every video there as watched/unwatched, set rating, add description, tag it. And possibility to open with preferred video player (for me — VLC). Option to get all info from imdb or other source will be very good.

yFlicks would be a good one, but it uses quicktime, so it doesn't like any non standard codec and container (for example mkv), it doesn't work well on Snow Leopard.

Any suggestions?

How about using Perian which makes Quicktime more codec-friendly? – puri Jun 16 '10 at 7:50
Perian doesn't do its job perfectly — in QuickView and Quicktime every mkv video can be watched from start, but it is slowly indexed (in Quicktime it is shown with grey bar), so jumping to any position takes about 10-15 minutes for a 1.5 hour video. – tig Jun 18 '10 at 12:04

While it's designed more towards an HTPC application, I know that Plex tracks watched/unwatched, and seems to play everything I've thrown at it. Plex will also pull Movie/TV info from imdb (and other sources). You have to have well named files though.

But it is more like Front Row and there are no tags – tig Jan 29 '10 at 11:34

Adobe Media Player's fine for this sort of stuff.

It does not understand even avi files. – tig Aug 19 '10 at 20:39
