By the way........... great work.

I really like the ability to transfer show data from mpeg to avi. Any chance of making that into a stand alone exe? I have tons of encoded shows with no show data. Would be a cool add on to be able to add show data into those avi's as well. Your probably too busy with this tool, but i figured I would throw that out there.
I assume you mean AVI's for which you have no original mpg? If the avi is in a BTV folder, drag the avi to EpisodeData shortcut, drop there, you should see filename.xml appear, right click on xml, choose open with notepad.
You should see
<property name="EpisodeDescription"/>
After editing you want to end up with
<property name="EpisodeDescription">Ruth finds a new way to unwind; David and Keith await news from Mary; Julio gets into trouble at school, surprising Vanessa.</property>
This is really data from Six Feet Under, but you get the idea. The important point I am trying to make is the XML flags need to be right, they are different for data and no data. I would have expected a empty field to look like:
<property name="EpisodeDescription"></property>
instead of:
<property name="EpisodeDescription"/>
After filling in the fields, save. Drag the avi to EpisodeData and drop again.
If you haven't figured it out. EpisodeData has two functions: Import and Export.
If no xml file exists with same name, it requests episode info from BTV, and a xml file results, if a xml file exists, it request BTV to import the data.
