TvFORGE For Mac

Importing TV shows from CDs or DVDs into your iTunes, adding metadata, and converting them to formats that are compatible with iOS or Apple TV devices can prove to be both challenging and time consuming.

TvFORGE is a Mac OS X application designed to streamline the procedure by granting access to an online movies database for extracting the metadata, and integrating powerful conversion tools.

The app works mainly with unencrypted discs, but might also process encrypted DVDs if you install the required libraries.

TvFORGE allows you to import TV shows files with simple drag and drop actions but keep in mind that you should use a naming pattern for easy detection. The app will automatically scan the files in order to detect metadata details, and enables you to search for additional info online.

The application offers you the possibility to include details about the current episode, about the current season, or about the entire series. You can provide general data, such as the genre, TV network, or content rating, but you may also include both short and long descriptions.

Within the TvFORGE Preferences window, you get to decide how do you want the media files to be handled when imported. You must make these adjustments only once, and you get to modify any setting on a case to case basis.

Besides modifications related to the subtitles, to the tagging, or to the conversion process, TvFORGE also includes a collection of additional metadata tags that can be added to your files.

To conclude, TvFORGE enables you to convert your TV shows files into MP4 video files that can integrate exhaustive metadata details. As a result, you will be able to import them to your iTunes library for easy browsing, or to sync them to other devices.
