Question regarding moving files to new MBP

[Snickerz]

Hey guys, I'll picking up a new Macbook pro soon and just got an external hard drive to help move all my files over. Basically its going to be all my music from iTunes, A few HD movies and alot of pictures.

My questions are:

1. Will my iTunes library stay intact or will I have to rename all the files in iTunes on the MBP. I'm hoping for the new library to be a mirror image of my current one.

2. Will my HD movies be transferable to the mac? They're not in quicktime format.

3. Is it possible to migrate my firefox bookmarks + settings over?

4. Any benefits to owning a Mac over a PC in terms of iPhone compatibility?

Thanks!

The metadata should be the same from machine to machine, but you might have to re-import your library into the new copy of iTunes on the new machine.

2. Will my HD movies be transferable to the mac? They're not in quicktime format.

Yes....

3. Is it possible to migrate my firefox bookmarks + settings over?

Nothing that isn't entirely subjective.
