If you are like me and are a little fanatic when it comes to beautifying your iTunes library, you might find my iTunes covers interesting. My main objective is to make different seasons of shows more distinguishable, therefore I put season numbering on the covers. Which character I put there is totally arbitrary, though, and completely my taste. No deeper meaning behind it. Enjoy, and if you want a cover for a specific show done, just write me.

All iTunes users, watch out: iTunes has introduced two new categories, Albums of the Week and Movies of the Week. The amazing thing: movies and albums are on sale for just $4.99! Don’t mix it up with the movie rental, where you can rent a movie each week for .99 cents. This one is the real deal.
 
Needless to say, I jumped at that opportunity and bought two movies and a complete album. Can’t wait for next week!

Everyone who uses iTunes might have despaired at least once about the limitations that this wonderful piece of software burdens us with: namely, the limitation to only some very specific video formats.
The following solution is for Mac users ONLY! Sorry, Windows guys (Possible solution … and now don’t bash me :D ). The goal is to be able to play  .avi, .mkv and that sort of files from within iTunes (without the need to convert them) and thereby access them via Front Row.
iTunes plays whatever QuickTime supports [see list of formats supported]. …

If you are a Lifehouse fan then go to iTunes or your (online) music shop of choice and buy the new release of their song “Broken”. I already had the song, it came with their last album, which I downloaded the minute it became available on iTunes. But their rendition of »Broken« is just absolutely wonderful. If you don’t know anything about the song, read the lyrics here.

So, nun seid ihr endlich soweit eure eigenen Filme in iTunes einfügen zu können … aber wie bearbeitet man die Beschreibung (Description) ?
Bei Filmen, die direkt aus dem iTS herunter geladen wurden, ist sie bereits enthalten, kann aber auch nicht mehr bearbeitet werden. Bevor ihr es versucht: Das Kommentarfeld führt auch nicht zum Ziel.
Was euch weiterhelfen wird ist dieses Script von Doug. Installiert es (wo und wie steht im Readme), dann startet iTunes. Markiert den Film, dessen Beschreibung ihr ändern wollt und klickt auf das Script Symbol in der Taskleiste. …

Das Problem
Man hat Videos unterschiedlichster Formate auf der Festplatte liegen, viele ein Überbleibsel der Windows-Zeit. iTunes tut sich aber mit .avi’s oder gar .mkv’s schwer: Es importiert diese Files nicht in seine Mediathek und so kann man die Filme nicht über iTunes verwalten, geschweige denn in Frontrow betrachten.
Eine Möglichkeit wäre natürlich, diese Filme in ein Format umzuwandeln, welches iTunes beherrscht (beispielsweise .mov oder .mp4). Das dauert aber seine Zeit und ist ausserdem oftmals mit Qualitätseinbußen verbunden.
