I think front row is a bit too simple. Is there any way to access the settings for it. Is it possible to change the aspect ratio for movies, eg force 16:10,16:9,4:3.
Also can anyone recommend a more advanced program like front row.
Thanks

Quicktime Pro, Media Central (http://www.equinux.com/us/products/mediacentral/index.html) are two alternatives.

It would be nice if I could all my video files on a central server. Kind like itunes music sharing. But I want to be able to share all video formarts.
Thanks

Well getting iTunes to look for music files on a mounted network hard disk is easy. Mount the disk (leave it permanently mounted on the Mac the streams to Front Row). Just in the Mac that hosts the Front Row and open iTunes and go into the Preference's and point to the folder on the network drive.
Be warned, remember the stupid DRM and the FairPlay (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairPlay) limit.
