i'm not completely literate when it comes to these things, but i was wondering if it's possible to embed info (title, director, year, etc.) right into an avi file in the same way that audio files have metatags. if this is the case, couldn't xbmc just use the tag info to set up a my videos library like the my music library. the reason i ask is that the current method of searching imdb for movie info isn't quite as useful for some types of videos (tv episodes, music videos, sports clips, etc). if xbmc was just reading the tags off each video file, then people (i'm assuming) could manually tag their videos themselves if the lookup isn't satisfactory.

this was just a thought i had. i apologize in advance if it's way off.
