Ok. Here goes the full story... I want to set up a restricted site where some of my friends and coleagues can manage their lists and trade with ease. I want this site to be just about perfect, and I want to develop scripts for AMC (the best movie catalog there is

) so that information between the site and the site members' home catalog is very easy to keep in sync.
One of the features I want is the possibility of indexing the movies not just by imdb#, but by rip also. And so if this "hash" value existed we could be positely sure of exactly what rip it is - if two members have a file with the same hash value they would be sure to have the same rip. One of the benefits of this is that a link to the corresponding .nfo in isonews.com could be kept. It would also allow members to make comments about the quality or whatever of the rip they have, and other users with the same rip would have those comments automatically in their movies database.
Something like this. It's nothing more than a project yet, but I wanted it to be as perfect as it could be. And of course... I'll be sure to AT LEAST give you a link so you can check the site out. If it's ever finished

.
