Might I suggest something like mythinfo-metadata.xml to describe all
files in the current directory? Or perhaps filenameofvideo-mythinfo.xml?
It would be appropriate for the extension to identify the file type, and
sticking with xml makes that data much more useful for utility programs
(i.e. generating archive reports, etc). Just my 2 cents.
