	I second the need for some sort of "unified view".

	This could be handy for movies as well as TV shows.

	A sort of TV DVD Ripper that integrated into MythTV would also
be nice. I currently have a somewhat suitable shell script to handle 
the basic ripping but there's no hooks yet to import metadata for the
ripped programs into the database.

	It would also be nice to exclude episodes and movies that
already exist within ripped form in the MythVideo side of things.

	THE_MATRIX.iso -> Don't record The Matrix off of TV.

	In general, it would be good to have tools that allow for
easy integration of self-ripped DVD's with MythDVD & the Recordings
from MythTV.

	Something else that would be handy would be a First-Episode
& Next-Episode meta program entry for MythVideo that would allow
easy cycling through a particular series without needing to keep 
track of the last show you watched.
