Sorry, I don't understand the examples and how they differ. What's  
this "pseudo-prefix"?

My initial thought, based on a cursory glance at storage groups, is  
to create a MythVideo storage group where each entry in  
VideoStartupDir becomes an SG directory. Those prefixes are stripped  
off the current videometadata.filename column and a new column is  
populated with the name of the storage group ("MythVideo" for the  
initial convert). Videos are then identified by the combination of  
storage group + relative path.

There are more details, obviously, but that's the basis for where I'd  
go. Are we saying the same thing?
