As a counterpoint to those who are requesting that My Pictures play the video files from your camera, I would request that it not. In terms of user interface design, we have My Pictures and My Videos. One plays pictures and the other plays videos. This keeps it logical and simple.
As a user of a Media PC, you have to expect to keep your media tidy and keep your files where they should be.
Of course, the other possibility, which Windows Vista MCE uses, is to define folders containing media, and the program decides which are which - the movie files show up in videos, the pictures in pictures. I guess in terms of user interface and ease of setup, this is possibly the best solution.
What happens if you add your pictures share to My Videos? Does it play the videos and ignore the pictures? If so, this is probably the ideal solution for the original poster.
