Default Help! Geexbox wont notice movies in its media.


Hola. Has anyone used geexbox??
Its a small live distro, 20mb or so. A program called 'generator' can be used to make a custom bootable iso, to which you can add movies, codecs etc.
So i was planning to make a custom dvd with generator to archive 6 movies, which total 4.1 gb, but no matter what i do geexbox wont notice any file present in root folder.
Actually i made a small iso using generator.
I placed small avi files in the iso folder, acc. To geexbox wiki, and compiled the iso. Then i booted it in a clean vm in virtualbox. No matter what i do, the os won't play anything else other than its background which is also an avi. I swapped that with a southpark episode (a 50 mb avi) which worked.
Please can someone help me in creating a bootable dvd that loads geexbox which plays avi present on the dvd??
