Hi guys, i've got a nice collection of home movies now (bit of an amateur who shoots anything :p ) except im starting to run out of space on my macbook...i've got a pc with a more than large enough HDD and was wondering if there was any way id be able to view my videos from a shared folder on the PC on my mac, but using front row? is this possible or do the videos have to be in my movie folder?
Thanks in advance,

Luke

I know this works with a USB drive, but I cannot say if it will work with a Windows share: what you have to do is create an alias (shortcut) to the folder that holds your files and place that alias in you "Movies" folder on the Mac. It will then show up in Front Row.
