No problem, I was also told it wouldn't work, but tried it myself to see. Low and behold, experience is everything! Glad I did try it.

Hey Kliphton, Thanks. I think the idea of doing this all wirelessly sounds very cool. If I get a time-capsule, I may pick your brain more about how you did this.

I didn't partition my time capsule, but I did put the movies in there own folder. Works flawlessly. I have itunes set to point to the files, not copy them to my library. Just for your knowledge.

We were thinking that it would be cool to store our movies on a drive that connects wirelessly to my MBA. but I suppose if we have to use a standard portable drive, that isn't the end of the world. But it does raise another question or two. Can I set up iTunes so that only the movies in my library are stored on a portable drive? And if I do that, will iTunes be messed up when that drive isn't connected?

You would need to probably partition your TC so that the backups were on a separate partition then set your Mac to automatically mount the other partition where your iTunes content is stored. Then when you started iTunes, it would access its Library from that network drive. I think that performance would be compromised and other inconsistencies may occur. Why not simply use the Home Sharing feature built-in to iTunes so that all users with the same AppleID in your house could access that Library? Later...
