I would like to be able to organize movie like you can with TV shows.
So the menu would read like it does for TV shows
James Bond -> (and have all the James bond movies)
Star Trek ->
Star Wars ->
Anyone know how to do this or if its even possible?
P.S. I know I can do this by telling iTunes there all TV shows but I want them to stay listed under movies.
If they are stored in iTunes then the only possible solution to try would be to create playlists e.g. a Star Wars playlist.
If the movies are not stored in iTunes but are simply files accessed via your Movies folder in the finder (and this could include VIDEO_TS copies of DVDs) then you can create sub-folders in the Movies folder to organise them however you wish. Movies accessed this way do not have any iTunes provided meta-data, the most you can do is to put a file called 'preview.jpg' in each folder as illustrated below.
~/Movies/Star Wars/Episode IV - A New Hope/starwars4.mpg
~/Movies/Star Wars/Episode IV - A New Hope/preview.jpg
~/Movies/Star Wars/Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back/starwars5.mpg
~/Movies/Star Wars/Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back/preview.jpg
~/Movies/Star Trek/The Wrath of Khan/VIDEO_TS/
~/Movies/Star Trek/The Wrath of Khan/preview.jpg
Note: If you have your movies in iTunes, you could also try putting an alias of it in the Movies folder. This would allow it to be organised the way I described but still be available for iTunes to sync to an iPod or AppleTV.
