Music videos only show up under the "Movie" menu with the real movies - anyone know how to reclassify the music videos so that they're accessible under the "Music Video" menu instead?

Thanks.

Select the offending music video, then go to File > Get Info.

In the Get Info screen click on 'Options', then use the pulldown menu to change the Video Kind from 'Movie' to 'Music Video'.

I appreciate the advice... unfortunately, it didn't work -
When selecting the 'Options' tab from 'Get Info,' there's no menu or prompt by/through which I can change the video kind.

Thanks.

Well I'll be damned. I tried it on a couple of shows I downloaded (not from Apple) and it worked fine. There must be some sort of protection on your files that make them unable to be changed.

I'll check on the protection, also could it be an iTunes 5 versus 6 issue?

Well, iTunes 5 doesn't exactly have a videos, so yes.
