Un Logiciel Video Manager ?

2009-07-07T11:19:59+02:00

If you have a digital lifestyle, then you must know what a Photo Manager is. Yes you know, it's that piece of software you use to store and sort all your photos and albums, and do whatever you like to do with them like uploading to flickr, printing and stuff. Please tell me you're not stuck with the old ACDSee folder-browsing experience of the old Windows 95 days.

Also, I take it you know what a Music Manager software is. Yep, same thing as photos but for mp3s, and all of the sorting principles are quite different with playlists, albums, DJing features, access to music stores, and mp3 player management etc.

Well you saw it coming, a Video Manager software is to bring you the same usefulness in the context of video tracks. That's what PUMP is, and the most notable feature dedicated to the shrine of Media Management Software, is...

PUMP's video sorting system, now introduced by the new release 0.7.6.

I wouldn't bet nobody ever thought of it before we did, but I honestly have never seen that implemented in any Video software, be it a manager, player, downloader of any kind. So enjoy...

You can download PUMP 0.7.6 from the check-for-upgrade system in the previous release or get it the official web-site: http://pump.vipeers.com/ using invite code: PUMP-ALL-IN-ONE

Here are the different kinds of videos that you can sort and describe with metadata fields. If we missed something, and you'd like to see some other fields or genres added, please let us know...

How to Sort and Manage All Your Videos?

2009-06-29T19:16:22+02:00

Really, it depends. Videos are not like photos or music. They really come in different flavors.

Music tracks are for listening, generally in sequence: albums, shuffle, smart computer playlists or human-designed DJ playlists. But all music tracks are roughly equivalent in the way you use them.

Photos are either personal life pieces or art. They fit together in albums, events or slideshows. But all photos are roughly equivalent in the way you use them.

Today you have several great options to manage your digital music (iTunes, WinAmp, SongBird...) and the same goes for your photos (Picasa, iPhoto...). You might have noticed how recent music software enables you to manage video tracks similarly to music tracks, and photo software enables you to manage your videos as if they were photos.

This is all wrong if you ask me. Videos are of different kinds, which are consumed differently.

Say you like movies. In what order do you watch them? It mostly doesn't matter.
Now what about TV series. I guess you like to watch season after season and episodes in sequence, right? Although you might watch a movie several times if you're a fan, that must happen less for series.

But let's not stop there. What about music videos and concerts of your favorite bands. You might play them time and time again, just like audio tracks. Actually you might want to convert these concert videos to MP3 and sync them on your iPod.

Is that all? No, I haven't even mentioned personal videos. Those you might want to play before diner to show your family, or once in the evening while having a few beers with your friends to remember the old days. In that case it also makes perfect sense to send them the video so they too can add it to their personal collection.

And it goes on: podcasts and TV shows are different, the kid's cartoons too, and of course adult videos is another kind that needs special attention...

So, how do you manage all that diversity of video types and usage. How do you sort them? please I wanna know!

2009-06-15T18:06:07+02:00

La Vidéo à la Demande est intégrée dans la dernière version de PUMP (0.7.5). Voyez vous-mêmes :

Dommage, les contenus ne sont visibles qu'aux US. Alors pour les français (et les anglais et les canadiens) on vous propose d'acheter des DVDs :

PUMP Avec des Films + Séries TV en Streaming

2009-06-04T16:56:31+02:00

In addition to Video Library + Search + Download + Convert + Sync, what would be the coolest improvement we can think of for PUMP?

Well, personal videos are cool and sharing these is big on the Internet today and we'll use our Torrent-powered VIPeers network to offer something unique in the field soon. But admit that sometimes, you just wanna watch a good old TV Series like Desperate Housewives or new hot Movie release like Slumdog Millionaire.

No need to say you wanna watch it right away in high quality and avoid any legal risks in the process!

How? What? When? more info coming soon...
