How to make certain video files appear in Front Row
I saw a tip similar to this and thought it seemed like a big pain in the butt to go through since I usually watch a movie and movie it elsewhere once I am done.
How to make certain video files appear in Front Row
I keep a lot of video files on an external drive, and also on another Mac (old iMac G3 in a closet in the basement! Poor guy), I put aliases in my Movies folder, and if I mount the drives before activating Front Row, I can browse wherever I want. DivX files, Flash movies downloaded from YouTube (using Keepvid.com), they all work in Front Row - - as long as they work in QuickTime. For those special formats, I use Flip4Mac WMV Components and Perian, both Free. If someone could find a way to play Real Media .ram and .rmvb in QuickTime, then I could say it's perfect ;-)

Hey,
In fact you can just create an "alias" pointing to the folder on your 500GB external HD where you keep your videos - place that alias in your "Movies" directory and all movies will show up in Front Row!
