I would realy appriciate this option. It's a pain in the *** to have to update every movie again after a fresh install or new version of MP. Alternatively a tool to backup the moviedatabase would work to. But (I'm guessing here) that could be difficult because it probebly won't work if the directorystructure of the mivies directory is changed or the moviedirectory is on a different drive (name).

As far as I can comprehend the programming behind the IMDB lookup in MP it doesn't seem to be too difficult to check if the moviedirectory is writeble, if yes.... format the movie info into a ini or xml file (xml will be preferrable I think) and write it to the directory together with the selected coverfile.
