I want this too....  I've not had a chance to write any scripts, but I 
di dthink about the process a bit...  You basically dump the database, 
read it into mysql on the laptop, and copy over whatever videos you want...

The big problem is that my carputer  only has room for about 60 GB of 
stuff; I can't fit everything....  So ideally I want to intelligently 
copy only the most recent and the most watched videos, and parse the 
mysql database to remove those not copied...

I still haven't figured out how to get the 'most watched' data out of 
myth....

There's also some juggling of NFS mounts to get stuff copied, but that 
shouldn't be much of an issue...
