I'm not sure if this is Craig's problem or not, I just wanted to add a
comment that you can put cover art in the same directory as the video
(just with a ".jpeg" extension, or whatever graphics format it's in).
Then, when you update the video through Video Manager (using IMDB), it
will use the covert art you placed in the directory instead of downloading
the cover art from imdb (I like to scan my DVD covers and use that instead
of whatever artwork imdb has).

I don't know why the cover art downloaded from imdb isn't stored in the
same directory -- if no one cares, I'm willing to (try to :-) create a
patch that stores it in the same directory.
