Wow, I'm glad you posted this! I was just about to install the plugins that somewhere over the atlantic recommended.

ml ipod did just release a brand-new version of the plugin yesterday. Does anyone know if that one fixed the video bug?

GGlave-oh yeah, nice summarization of itunes for pc folks....they definitely have different underlying apple-think assumptions that I'm not used to. I'm sure apple-people run into the same thing when they try to use a pc-type program, but it's not fun. I am also not too fond of how they want to organize my files on the ipod or my computer. Fortunately, I did turn off the auto-organize (or whatever they call it) feature before it started digging too much-I was also lucky most of my music was in shared folders so itunes hadn't found it yet. sigh....
