So this is a little late . . . after watching jobs show us how we can start watching movies we download through itunes within minutes because as we watch, itunes is still downloading . . . i was wondering how come we can't do that with our network drives? I have a External Hard Drive connected through 2.0 on my mac mini and I'm trying to watch some movies and it gets a little choppy . . . is that normal?

or when i'm watching a HDTV show from my NAS to my iMac downstairs . . there's no way that's gonna happen cuz it's too choppy too . . .

I'm just wondering why apple can't apply long distance downloading features to home networks . .

It's probably bandwidth constraints. Stay tuned for iTV, or whatever the actual name will be.

What format are the movies in? If you copmress the movies yourself, make sure that you check the "Hint for streaming" checkbox.
