So this is likely beyond the scope of your project, but I've always thought a really good project would be a website to host scene indexes for movies and TV.

Eg. Let's say that you wanted to watch a prerecorded football game or baseball game without all the commercials, timeouts, commentators talking about the fans, etc.

Or... Let's say that you wanted to re-cut a movie in a certain way, by re-ordering the scenes, you could just generate a new scene data file and let the encoder/player use that.
