Calling all Programmers!!!

Well I'm no where near smart enough to do this but I think it's a good idea. A fan edit amalgamation of software! I understand, at least, that coding a program from the ground up would be all too hard, but "borrowing" code from other software shouldn't be too big of a project that we can't accomplish. It would be nice for every editor here to have a single software solution for their edits, it really isn't any more "illegal" than fan editing and the end product could be distributed in the same way.

Heres the goal, a single software product that can do all of this in a single window:
1. Rip a dvd
2. Seperate 5.1 into 6 seperate audio channels
3a. Allow us to add effects from software like adobe after effects/shake/other various cgi software
----This should allow wipes, titles, lightsabers/laser blasts, filters, and all the other various cg work we might need to do
---------It should also allow the addition of subtitles
3b. Cut/paste the video and audio channels together or independantly
4. Make menus
5. Render the video and rebuild a dvd structure in files and as an image for burning and sharing

(Everything from 3a to 3b should be able to be done at the same time)

Even if noone on here has the skills needed it's still nice to dream, so speak up people give some suggestions!

A good idea yes but impossible to do.
