Front Row Help


im on a mac, but upgraded from a PC. I transfered all the movies that i had on my PC to an external hard drive (courtesy of FreebieJeebies )

when i try and play movies in Front Row it only picks up the movies that i have ripped from DVDs to my Mac HardDrive. I thought i could have been because of the format of the movies copied from my PC, but i converted a couple to MPEG-4 and still it cant 'see' them ...

do i need to add a folder somehow to Front Row ???? and if so ... how the hell do i do that? i've tried going through settings and sources in Front Row, but to no avail ....

thanks in advance techies ....

What I do is make a shortcut to the external HDD in the "Movies" folder. Then, in Front Row, when you go to your movies folder you'll see all of the movies on your external HDD too
