@ Firewalk:

I like FrontRow 1.3 better 'cause it only has 4 options, it's much easier to control. And it looks better in my opinion. Already the startup sequence looks better (see screenshots). The importantst feature is during watching movies: FrontRow 1.3 remembers the last position you stopped a movie. If you start it later, you can select if want to continue or start it from beginning. FrontRow 2.0 starts always from beginning, and it's very annoying to fast forward an two-hour movie if you have only the left 20 minutes to watch. I'm always using FrontRow watching movies, so this function is absolutely neccessary for me.

A little tip to FrontRow: Problematic is maybe that it uses only uses the 'Movies' folder on your home directory, but I have my movies (nearly 100GB) on my second hard disk. This is simple: Uses Aliases. But you can do more with this: If you have movie files (avi/divx/mpg) you don't need so often that you won't have them on HD, you can burn 'em on DVD, sure. Problematic is, you can't use them with FrontRow from there. So I'm using for every movie DVD always the name 'Media DVD'. You now can also create an Alias to 'Media DVD' and put it into your Movies folder. If there's an DVD with this name in the drive you can access the files with FrontRow, if not the name isn't even listed in it. Works great.
