You can password-protect videos there so they aren't available to the general public.

Or are they limited to BS options like Share - Youtube, Facebook, etc which bypass the file system altogether? It's the result of the War on General Purpose Computing. 2.

Premier or FCP should probably eat them all and crap out a movie but I did encounter the odd Chinese kid with an .mtv format or something no one had ever heard of except them. AND if they are sending the files, better hope they understand the file structure for stuff like AVCHD, and get them to send the whole PRIVATE folder and that kinda thing.
