I know but I'm looking for a more flexible solution - I do not have the videos locally, most are across the network. I want it to be able to handle this..
I'm not sure I understand the picture/diagram, but how about iTunes (7)? You can have the actual files over a network and just have iTunes "reference" the movies (like Aperture if you know what I mean). So the actually files aren't on you're drive but you can still sort them etc.
