Backed up itunes library from old comp-movies and tv episodes will not transfer to new computer.. help please

Hi. I bought a new computer due to several problems with my old one. I backed up my old itunes library on an external harddrive however while my music and apps transfer flawlessly itunes completely ignores me when i click on the movie files and/or folder. Any idea how to fix this ? I have roughly 4-5 movies on my old library and about 5 tv episodes.. and none will transfer to my new itunes.

Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Wonder if you have followed this article to copy your Itunes folder over:

iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

If so, go and look under this iTunes folder structure and check if your movies and TV show are there:

Thank you so much! That is the one i followed when i backed it up, however i must have missed looking at how to put the other library into my new computer. It worked perfectly! Thanks again 🙂
