Gotcha. I like the podcast workflow. I get to tell my family, "Use  
this one URL to get whatever videos you want". They load the rss feed  
into iTunes and then hit Get to get the ones they want or delete to  
remove them from the list. I have them all set up to NOT automatically  
all episodes of a podcast so we're not throwing around unwanted video  
all the time. I'm going to give feedcreator a try in combination with  
your script and see how it goes...

That would be pretty excellent.
