Does anyone know how to change the "video kind" on iTunes videos?

I have one video that I purchased from the ITMS called "Right here" by stained that's classified as a "Movie" instead of a "Music Video". I'd love to put it in the right place, but it's all greyed out.

Get info on the item, go to Options and select the Video Kind. But you can't select TV Shows, since Apple apparently reserves that for things downloaded from the iTMS.

Or are you saying that this menu item is not selectable for that item?

That option is disabled. I can't change it. (That's why I posted the question.) Is there something I have to do to re-enable this field?

I see. I think you're not "allowed" to change the video kind for things purchased from the iTMS. There might be a utility out there that allows you to do it. I know there is one that allows you to select "TV Show" for your own files.

Bummer. I purchased the staind video before the iPod video came out, which probably explains why the video type is "wrong". Grrr ....

I'll keep my eyes out for a utility .... thanks.
