Hi all,

I hope this is the place to ask this question. I have an external drive that houses all my movies and tv shows. I use this hard drive at home and hook it up to my WDTV live so I can watch my movies on my television. These are all files that I have burned myself (no torrents or itunes downloads).

I'd like to bring the hard drive to work, plug it into my computer and have my movies at my fingertips when working on a few things. Could I tell itunes to create a second library that is only for videos and read it off of the external hard drive I bring from home? I wouldn't want to copy 2 TB of data to my itunes at work, but I sure would like to use itunes to be abel to watch my movies. Any luck with that?
