This is big for a couple of reasons. For starters any video that gets dropped into iTunes is categorized as a movie which is fine as long as you aren't dealing with tv shows. If you just convert 10 episodes of Dexter and dump them into iTunes the normal way, all 10 files end up in your movies area. You need to highlight them all, give them a show name, a season number and categorize it as a tv show. iFlicks does all this for you before they even get into iTunes along with the added bonus of adding extras like air date, actor names, show art etc. It's OUTSTANDING.
This sounds easy enough. Is iFlicks the only app I need if I want to get a dvd from disc to ATV?
