You can do that with Isilon's WebDAV interface (Kodak Easyshare for example) and with SyncIQ and Aspera it could be replicated around the BBC's storage clusters with no human interaction.

The tools to buy, not build, a DMI exist already.

Actually to have a semi public facing drop zone where we could ingest, analyse and prep files for upload would be a good tool. Get it working right, and build in the right security, and I know of three or four real world production applications straight off- could even integrate well to DMI.

If we do a production systems hack day this year I'd chuck it in the mix.

Delivering finished films from his home edit suite to us is proving maddeningly unreliable- a combination of his home internet connection, a Mac that refuses to even see some removable drives and a DVD Rom burner we are deeply suspicious of means that roughly half the films fail at some stage of the workflow. In this instance an H.264 copy (far lower quality) was readable off a memory stick whereas the far nicer, and bigger, DV Pal 25 .mov file was U/S.

Sounds like a great R&D project - perhaps an automated tool to analyse (and upload?) video produced by third parties? :-)
