Wow! That's a great idea!

I'll try that when I'm back on my Mac. (Must use WinDoze for Work :-( )

I'm so gonna pull my hair out!

When you browse to a Smart Folder, it's grey'd out, so you can't select it.

So where exactly would I "drag and drop these"?

Smart Folders allow me to select items, both in the Finder and in iTunes. If you create a Smart Folder in the Finder, you should be able to drag & drop movies into iTunes, unless they're a format that isn't supported.

Maybe if you describe exactly what steps you're taking and where the problem occurs we can figure out what's going wrong.

I'll point out that one of the canned sidebar searches that the Finder offers is "all images". Go to Finder preferences, Sidebar tab, third from the bottom. this will gather all the images on your hard drive, and you can move them where and as you like.
