Allocating multiple genres to movies

Hi all, I've been slowly converting my DVD library to MP4 and setting up iTunes on a little Asus eeebox to stream them to a new AppleTV 2 I've brought the family for xmas. I've figured the best way to 'manage' the movies and make them fairly easy browse from the ATV2 is to use Genres.

Some movies though don't solely fit into one genre... is there a way in iTunes 10 to allocate multiple genres so that when browsing from the ATV2 the same movie can appear in each associated genre?

We will have 6 users in our house and each one will have their opinion on which genre a movie should appear in.

Any help appreciated 🙂

Mmm thought as much... I'm quite surprised at Apple's poor support for movies in iTunes. Thought they would have improved on it in time for the ATV2 launch. I guess goes to show that they're focused more on getting users to spend more $ in their iTunes store rather than cater for users own content with in house streaming.

Pitty, such potential to be a real media player contender.

The limitation on multiple genres exists for music too. It is not just for movies.
