We are all well aware of iTunes rather lackluster support for TV Shows and the iPod. Luckily some fine folks wrote a great MPEG-4 editor that makes TV Shows and other MPEG-4 files show up in iTunes and on an iPod correctly.

Not satisfied with the existing GUI front ends for AtomicParsley I wrote my own. It's slimmer than the others I used by splitting the movie types into separate displays to offer a cleaner and smaller UI. Additionally instead of offering everything and the kitchen sink I opted to offer a smaller subset of the available options but ones which I feel are the core fields for the most common video types.

What's New:
Redid tagging to better align with the movies form the iTunes store. Thanks Norbert Rittel.
Removed the ability to apply TV Show tags to Music fields as these are now fully searchable in iTunes.
Added extended date options for TV Shows, Movies and Music Videos
Added a genre field for TV Shows.
Added an Actors field for Movies. This is placed in the Artist tag like movies from the iTunes Store.
Added a DVD field for Movies. This is placed in the Album tag like movies from the iTunes Store.
Added a Director field for Movies. This is placed in the Album artist field like movies from the iTunes Store.
The DVD and Director fields can be used to group and search for artwork for movies.
Added a genre field for Movies.
Added a Date field for Music Videos.
Sanitizes file names that contain : or / to work around a potential AtomicParsely crash. When renaming files titles with a : or / in the name get converted to a -.
Slightly reworked the UI to be less button heavy.
