TV show episode Icons in iTunes media ...

Hi all

In iTunes, I have a list of episodes that fall under the purchased TV show. On my local hard drive, I open the iTunes media folder and all the episodes are displayed in the window. Each episode is shown as a white icon with the blue musical note and mpeg 4 written below. After 2-3 seconds, each icon changes it's picture to a middle grey color with dark bands at the top and bottom. The written mpeg 4 is no longer visible. I used a third party software to copy the episodes from my iPod to my external drive. The same occurs with these icons on this drive. However, the white/blue musical note icon with written mpeg 4 is retained for each episode when viewed in Adobe Bridge CS4.

Is this grey colored icon normal for all episodes that have been purchased via the iTunes store. Why does it start off as a white background/blue musical note and then changes to another picture. Can anyone check this when opening their iTunes media file on their local and or external drive (as a backup). I want to find out whether the third party software is responsible for changing the picture icon. If so, how can I retain the white/blue musical note with mpeg 4 written on it in the iTunes media folder?

Thanks

Robin
