The same interface?  Too many files?  Want to keep metadata?

If you search the archives, I started and abandoned a myth-to-go 
project.  Basically it would need a UI to select the movies and 
recordings to transfer, then use something like rsync to transfer the 
movies and then export the pertinent entries from the home database and 
import them into the on-the-go database.

I never got too far; too many things to do and I'm not a mysql nor a c++ 
coder so the learning curve was way too steep.

I'd love to see this happen, though and I would be willing to offer 
beer-and-pizza if anyone wants to take it on.
