Actually, I left off the part that I do that already. :)  We've got the 
Video area pretty well broken up in to genres (with one large group for 
"Kids").

When I referred to the "Video Manager", I mean the one under 
"Utilities/Setup" -> "Video Manager", which brings up a list of the 
videos on the system, allowing you to change the metadata, icons, etc.
