We just need a clever name for a website. Any brainstorms? I'd be willing to do the leg work (after I finish working on a certain book that a non-disclosure agreement prevents me from mentioning). I don't think you'd be able to store the files on a server, due their immense size.
To me, that is the crux problem: how do you prevent abuse. Since you can't store the files locally, how do you ensure someone follows-through on their promise to mail it out. It's as if you would need an escrow type service or third party to hold the video clips until the contract has been agreed. I do envision you could create a strict guideline for quicktime/wmv preview files, that would allow someone to watch snippets of your footage, to determine if they want to trade. The preview would reside on the server, possibly. Then I imagine it'd be up to the user to send out the video burned to a DVD-ROM, in its best format possible. (or an agreed upon format.) In addition, I think the database would need to know certain properties of your clip such as: length, camera model, pod or hand-held, description, keywords, etc. I guess it'd be like a swapmeet, or want-ads classifieds.
