In conjunction with the custom NFO's you can also organize your home movies into folders like regular Movies. So a main parent folder called "Home Movies" with each movie within it's own child folder. Each movie can then have its' own nfo, and artwork. Use the <set> and <sorttitle> tags to keep them grouped and sorted as a Movie set Collection within the regular Hollywood movies. You'll probably want to avoid any extrafanart or extrathumbs.

Good details
HERE
EDIT: I decided to provide some of my own details as well.
I dropped the home movies in the Home Movie folder. With Ember Media Manager configured to "sort files into folder before each library update" I then added the source to Ember Media Manager telling it to "scan recursively", "only detect one movie from each folder", and "use folder name for initial listing". This put each movie into its' own folder.
Then simply Ctrl+Click to tag each marked movie, right click and chose "rescrape selected movies, "ask (requires input if no exact match), "Extrathumbs only". That performed an automatic "frame extraction" and created an "extrathumbs" folder for each movie populated with fanart.
Then scraped for "meta data only".
I then edited each movie in Ember, put the year, plot outline, plot, family members as actors, director, runtime, camera used as "video source", custom "Home Movies" genre, and lastly selected a poster and main fanart from the local extrathumbs folder.
I used Tools, Sets Manager to create a Home Movies set and assign the movies to it.
Then deleted the extrathumbs folder.
