Step 2.5 - watching

so you read my simple how to torrent post and you have downloaded something, now you want to watch it.

Let's start (and maybe end) with Front Row. It comes with the mac, works well, and is SIMPLE.

The easiest way to keep things organized is to go to your mac's "movies" folder and drop your movie in there. Hit menu on the remote control (or command & escape), browse to movies, then movies folder and it's there.

It you have media on another drive or in a different place make an alias to a movie or a folder where your movies live.

In my movies folder I have a "movies" folder a "tv" folder and "kids movies". In my Tv folder I have subfolders by show.
I use a combination of Transmission's labels and Hazel to place the files in the right folders automatically, but that's for a later post.

I wrote in the past about Boxee and Plex as alternatives to Front Row and if you are curious for a redux, email me or tell me in the comments
