^a bit off topic, but would that actually work?
i was going to propose a while back, but it wold be interesting to perhaps have a bank of such small 'edit' files on dropbox for Final Cut, Vegas and Premier.
If we developed an indexing system for the ripped dvds, music files and sfx etc (Everyone would have the same stuff, with the same name in the same place on their own machines) then surely it would be quite a good way to piece some projects together.
