I hope too he takes part in this discussion :-)

I've tried his tools today and must say that they run more or less as unstable 
as my own old plugin :-), but since the documentation is a little 'thin', it 
may also be my own fault.

I like the approach, but it surely needs a lot of documentation first :-) and 
I also think that it's only possible if the movie file is mounted to the 
recoderd-server via nfs, or did I overlook something?
