In 6b, you create some XML file filled with metadata. Format that XML 
file in the manner described in that wiki link several responses back, 
name it the same thing as the video, but with an '.mxml' extension, and 
the scanner should automatically import it when it scans for content. 
This mechanism will not currently do anything with the artwork.
