XBMC will use the nfo file first instance.
If it doesn't find one then it will use the scraper. Also if the nfo file isn't compatible / is malformed then it will fall back to the scraper.

well media center master is making the nfo file fully compatible with xbmc so there shouldn't be any problem with that..
do you have any idea why is this happning? what am is suppose to see in xbmc when the movies are getting updated? i mean when the scrapper is downloading the movie it says in this little box that it's downloading movie information but what am i suppose to see when it's taking the info from the nfo file?
edit: when i'm adding a source in the movie folder it asks me after i added the source what dose the directory contains, when i switch it to movie in shows me in the side the scrappers i can use in order the download the movie info and the i have to chose one in order to update the library. am i doing the right thing or is there another way?

I mean are you sure its not reading the local nfo files? Why do you think its not using them?
nfo file should be in the same folder as the movie and must be named the exact same as the movie file.

If movies are in there own folders then you can use movie.nfo xbmc always displays the downloading movie information dialog if its actually downloading stuff from the net chances are its downloading actor thumbs it does this by default however you can turn it off, your know when its not downloading stuff as your movies will scan in quite quickly I take it you have local artwork as well and its named correctly
You only had to look at your log to see what was happening it tells you if its found an nfo
Edit: Just read the above post you should also select "use folder names for lookups"
