The searching yes, that's something else altogether. You d have to
find a way to extract the metadata from the movie. For my current
project involving image files, I'm using Phil Harvey's exiftool (a
Perl script) to extract the data and then I insert the data into
mysql. I wrote a shell function to do this recursively, becase there
are more than 7000 images to be processed.
But actually, xmp/exif data is easily accessed (you could do it with
a grep), but the data in the movies is compiled. So you'd have to
hunt arond for someone who has already solved this, but it couldn't
be too difficult, as any app that can index mp3 files does the same.

Hi - Could you tell me how you're doing this? In other words, given
a Quicktime movie for example, how would you add metadata - and
then how could you search for it?
Thanks greatly - Alan
