Home Videos and Movies mixed when viewed thru AppleTV

My home videos are in a named folder in iTunes Music. My Movies (both those downloaded from Apple and those owned and ripped into tunes) are in a separate "Movies" folder, see below screenshot.


When viewing through AppleTV, the home videos and Movies are mixed in the Home Videos selection. It may be that the Movies in Home Videos are the ripped ones, but I haven't exhaustively checked this. How can I segregate Movies from Home Videos ?? N.B. when I go back to iTunes Music folder, they ARE segregated.

When a video is selected in iTunes choose Video Info (eg right click). Choose the Options tab and change the video type from Home Video to Movie. You can then choose the first tab and select a genre. Click on OK to save the settings.

The Apple TV should now include that video n the Movies list (also it should be listed as "recently added")
