iFlicks = iTunes for video
File in the “Uber-cool software” category: Helixent Technologies has released
iFlicks, an application that is to video what iTunes is to audio. The
feature-set of the app looks awesome: built-in movie player with full screen playback support, ‘bookmark’ support to
break up a movie into multiple viewing sessions, smart collections (a la smart playlists - automagically update
collections based on a movie’s metadata), gallery view - even integration with Netflix.
Sweet. I can’t wait to test this thing out. The demo
version limits you to five movies in your collection and throws up registration reminders. If this app is all it’s
cracked up to be, it’s going to be well worth the $29.95 shareware fee.

Whoops! I just went to Helixent's site and iFlicks has been taken down. They're being very tight-lipped about it so I'm guessing they're being sued or something. here's the notice: http://www.helixent.com/iflicks/download/notice.html

The info's nice, but if you still have to go somewhere else to manage the queue (i.e. a web browser), might as well read the feeds, etc., there in the first place. I'll stick with Sage for that.
