Sorry, don't be so rude, didn't realize your whole question.
I never purchase DVD's in iTunes or stores. I rent, than re-encode them for my Apple TV and have the artwork for the movie (preferably the iTunes Artwork in the store) and than set the right decsription for all movies/TV Shows and directors, actors, etc. and put them in my iTunes.
I don't... I'm sure there is probably one or two other people out there who doesn't either.
im currently almost making the swith TBH, i DL way too much.
i am THIS <-> close to buying a BRD to buy movies, rip into my computer then watch with my HD TV. sounds awsome
not enough dough thoughHey Dof.., do you think it is super dangerous to Upload torrents? I have a friend who's super worried about Uploading..
you have to add the artwork into the song in itunes, then it will appear in your frontrow.
i did that, but in frontrow when i go to the movie, a preview starts playing. or does artwork only work with music in frontrow?
if i go into a movie clip, it shows a random picture that is generated. i have no idea what is wrong with yours??
p.s. i have the same hanns-g monitor as you connected to my MBP. its awsome aye
vandlism...i am running tiger, do i need leopard to see movie artwork in frontrow?
dofot9...when i scroll down to a movie on the left side of the movie title, the movie starts playing in a little box, i thought the artwork would show in there instead of the movie. i love hanns-g monitors, upgrading to a 22" at the end of the week

oh geez, thats a bit confusing then. i would have to boot into a tiger machine to tell you that, i dont remember sorry.
wonder what youd sell that hann-s 19" for?
shipping to australia might cost a bit too much for my liking though 
I couldn't think of cool names for all the playlists I have so I decided to name them after NorCal cities. Just like Intel right...
My MacBook's 160GB hard drive is increasingly becoming a limiting factor on my iTunes library, so I plan to replace it with a 500GB one soon. Then I will probably re-encode everything in both AppleTV and iPhone presets with the MacTheRipper/Handbrake combo, as well as adding lots more films.
Hello All...
Just curious how are you guys/gals handling the second disk of a two disc edition since most of those require navigation etc? Or are you not worrying about it?

Plex with Blu-ray rips
Plex is just wonderful for HD movie playback with the Sanyo z2000 1080p projector. I no longer use Front Row at all for my home theater Mac Mini. Doesn't matter if the Blu-ray m2ts file has Dolby Digital or DTS, I get 5.1 surround sound either way. I also like how Plex's scraper parses IMDB without an interaction from me - it just automatically updates. I can't tell you the last time I used MetaX. Hopefully, Plex will soon be able to read iTunes XML database file so music playback will be nicer.
All I want now is for Blu-ray discs to come down in price. Once they hit $15 per title, I'll probably start buying them more frequently than I do now.

X2??? There must be some program out there to join 2 (or more) .mp4 files together so they play seamlessly... Would iMovie work?
HA!!!
all i want now if for bluray discs in australia to hit the $40 mark. (your so lucky that they are that cheap already, we still easily pay $30 for DVDs!).
Yo Caveman!
How does Plex work. Can it connect to an iTunes library and stream like appletv?
Personally, I don't worry about it. If I want to look at the extras I just go dig out the DVD and play it. But if you want to be bothered, you can encode them separately and then use Quicktime to append them to the end of a movie mp4.
What I don't know, since I've never done it, is whether or not you lose chapter markers this way.
Plex simply identifies the file (local or networked) as video or audio and ignores all others. If it's a movie with the IMDB name (e.g., "Iron Man (2008)") then Plex will parse IMDB for the artwork, description, rating, etc. and download that info automatically. If you delete the movie, then Plex deletes this info automatically. It even works with the Apple remote (although I use a Harmony).
It does not integrate with iTunes' XML database, but I understand that is a future feature. So it's coming. I really miss it for music, but not at all for movies.
