Hi,

I have a lot of TV shows encoded in DiVX or XViD or various other codecs that VLC plays. I want to put them into iTunes so I can use Front Row to watch them.

Is there any programs that can be used for this?

Thanks,
Callum

If you have the Divx or other appropriate plugin for QuickTime, put the files into your "Movies" folder in your Home folder and they should appear in FrontRow. They'll show up no matter what; of course if you don't have the right plugins you'll have to convert them somehow (not sure what would be best, maybe ffmpegX?)
