About the "watched fully" idea. Do you keep in the db that information ?
If so, could it also be possible, next to the "play all files" button, to display a "play unwatched files" or "play next unwatched file" (just the next one). The tricky part is of course to determine which file is actually "the next one". Probably that most people will understand if you just order them by filename and rename their files if they use this option. If you can remember what video has already been fully watch, you could also remember where I was in the DVD or the long video I'm watching when I quit and allow me to restart five seconds before that point. I think that this feature already exist in one of the mplayer frontend of KDE.
