I wanted something that would automatically add metadata to video files ripped from Great Courses DVDs (thegreatcourses.com) so I wouldn't have to do it by hand. After all, each course is made up of a ridiculous number of video files.
- Find the course page on thegreatcourses.com
- Copy and paste the URL into the app
- Click "Scrape"
- Wait for the table to populate
- Click on "Add to files"
- Shift click the files, making sure they are in increasing order.
- Go!
- Series title (lecture name)
- Artist (lecturer's name)
- Video type (TV Show)
- Genre (Non Fiction)
- Episode number (lecture #)
- Season number (1)
- Description and long description
