R UR TV shows coming up in your Movies catagory, or in your Movies Folder?

if your tv shows are in your movie catagory or movie folder and you want them in your tv show catagory or tv show folder here is what you do.
1. Edit>Preferences>Advanced>"Uncheck" Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized
2. Change your TV shows to TV shows by: Right Clicking the episode>Get Info>Video> and changing where it says Movie to TV Show
3. When you are completely finished doing this to ALL of your TV Shows repeat step 1, but instead of "Unchecking" Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized..."Check" *Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized*
4. Now all of your TV Shows will be in your TV Show catagory and folder for good!

the only video codec I've gotten to show up in iTunes is some variation of mpeg-4 (protected or unprotected).
another thing about getting them into the "TV SHOWS" folder is that I have to individually go into the file in itunes (Get Info in the FILE menu) the "VIDEO" setting tab. by default all video files are movies as far as iTunes is concerned. even if in the "INFO" tab the genre is TV SHOW it still shows up in movies. you have to select "TV SHOWS" from the drop down menu there in "VIDEO."
so far the video aspect of iTunes is not quite as robust as the audio. hopefully in the future this will change. my biggest complaint right now is that in the TV SHOWS folder of the iTunes library individual seasons of TV Shows no longer get their own subfolder, it's all just one big folder of everything in that show. I've fold a workaround to sorta fix that but it doesn't generate subfolders.
