I like the idea with a file for every movie. Look at GAM, it use separates files, and is much faster than MP. Saves both the info file and the picture.

In the info-file You should find:
1/ filename (s) for movie (> 1 file -> easy stacking)
2/ picture name
3/ disk number (if movie file don't exists -> offline movie)
4/ normal imdb info

advantages:
1/ Can have info for movies that don't exists in imdb (I have many of them)
2/ Info is easy editable for normal users
3/ Easy to change picture
4/ No need to remake everything in "every" MP-update
5/ Can copy info/picture together with movie on DVD/CD
6/ Easy to have "off-line" movies. Just delete movie and left picture and info.

disadvantage:
? , can't see any

Don't say that everything is editable in MP's database now. It maybe is but I have tried with sqlite. And that was NOT easy. It was more like impossible. I did manage to change the picturename but after next update all was gone :-(
