Can't Add Movies To iTunes Library

Hi all.



I recently reformatted my Mac (long story) and now that everything is up and running, I find that I am unable to manually add movies to iTunes. I can't even add iTMS movies to it.



If I drag the movies into the movies>library, nothing happens.



I have it set to keep my music folder organized and to copy music to my library when adding. Music plays fine.



It acts like it simply doesn't see them.



Any ideas? This was working just fine before I reformatted.

    Try re converting them again.

    Two of them are iTMS purchases, so it's not a conversion issue, I don't think.

    Make sure your computer is authorized for your iTMS account?

    First thing I checked. It's authorized. I can also point out that QT will not play the videos, either. Just a gray screen.

    Reinstalled QT and all works now.



    Go figure.

    I also had issues with Quicktime after I reformatted my MacBook, so this doesn't surprise me. Sorry I didn't think of it. \

    I didn't think of it until just after I posted that QT wouldn't play the videos.
