[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1635135, member: 38864"] You have to add the movies into iTunes (drag and drop them into iTunes). Simply changing the location of the iTunes Media folder isn't going to do it. Even changing that location is unnecessary. All you'd really have to do is disable the option to automatically copy media to the iTunes Media folder. You can do (or could have done) that, then simply add the movies to iTunes by drag/drop and they'd stay where they are. Of course you should also have your media in a format iTunes supports. For movies, that'd be .m4v, .mp4, and .mov. There might be a couple others, but definitely NOT mkv. [/QUOTE]
