Hey, i am a pretty new mac user, and i have been enjoying every second of my new MB. I just started to use Front Row, in Leopard, which is great! I took whatever movies and Tv shows I had on my MB and used the program movies2itunes so that all my avi files was visible in itunes. then i could see them in Front Row. My question is this, is there any way to change the Preview picture for the tv episodes? When u see the episode listed in Front Row you see a frame, og freezed picture like 10 sec into the episode, is there any way to change this picture?? And how come I cant see all my pictures from my picture folder in front row, i can only see 3 old images from photobooth!!

Sorry the bad english... hope u can help...

dont' know about changing the image of the tv show. but photos only shows pictures in iphoto or photobooth, so make sure the photos you want to view in frontrow are actually in iphoto.

just so you know, I think Perian will allow Frontrow to play avi files. This should save you having to convert all your files all the time.

Not sure if there's a way to change the preview thumbnail though.

true, but I prefer not to have many movies in iTunes - only ones I'll watch on my iPod. Any others, I sort in the movies folder, and keep them in their original format. Just saves messing about.
