But it’s nice to have the ability to modify or create your own, I think. In most cases, if not all cases, the built-in presets will be just fine. This unfortunately also means that you can’t modify presets or create your own, if you want just a little bit more bitrate for an iPad conversion, for example. Missing FeaturesĪs already mentioned, iFlicks was designed to be easy to use – and it really is. But I would really like iFlicks to remember the last used preset and select it for me upon next launch. This might not be a bug, it could be a feature, depending on how you look at it. Had to restart the application for the buttons to work again. It happened to me a few times when I dragged over another batch of files to be converted, that the four buttons on top were all grayed out, so I couldn’t click on any of them. I found only one bug within iFlicks, which didn’t occur too often and wasn’t annoying in the same way as VideoMonkey bugs. It’s a minor thing but it still annoyed me a few times. Here I miss being able to simply double click on the result I want, rather than first clicking a result to select it and then click the “Ok”-button. Simply enter the show name and it will rank results based on similarity. If, for some reason, iFlicks fails to find your TV show, you can click the “search for details” button to make sure that the show name is correct and update if it’s not. It also supports the “s01e05” naming, meaning the same thing as “1×05”. Just by dragging in the file and iFlicks will instantly go and search for coverart, episode description, title etc. This naming format makes it really easy for iFlicks to pull metadata from its sources. “Knight Rider 1×05” for episode 5 in season 1. Hey, don’t judge me, The Hoff was great back then □ Anyway, I had already ripped the DVD’s a long time ago so I had them only in a non-iTunes friendly format and I certainly couldn’t get them to play on the iPad without converting them first. Since I got my iPad a few weeks ago, I got this idea that I wanted to get some of my Knight Rider episodes onto it, so I could finally get around to watching them. And finally, the fourth button is to move the original file to trash – so it does a little bit of cleaning up after itself as well. The third button is enabled by default and will move your encoded file directly into iTunes. are you converting for iPhone, Apple TV, etc.? The next is destination and lets you select where to save the encoded file. The first button lets you select which encoding preset to use, ie. The interface has four buttons at the top row which you simply toggle depending on what you want to happen. IFlicks was designed to be easy – and it is. Video conversion (iTunes/Front Row, Apple TV, iPad, iPod, iPhone).
