From Your site wish list:

"document repair program=20
Bugs are inevitable, and as adoption of the OpenOffice.org XML format =
increases, so will the number of buggy documents. Hence, a tool that can =
examine and repair documents might be very helpful."

_________________________________________________________________________=
___



Premiere Pro 1.5 project files are XML files that can be opened in =
Microsoft FrontPage, modified (usually to change the file path for .AVI =
files when a project is moved from one computer to another)



Here is the issue. I often read in the Adobe and Matrox RT.X100 forums =
about some poor video editor who spent weeks tweaking a project only to =
have the .prproj file (it's actually an XML file) get corrupted. When =
this happens, Premiere tries to open the project and returns an error =
message... "Project appears to be damaged and can not be opened". Now =
there is a thing in Premiere called Auto-Save, but sometimes for some =
unknown reason it doesn't save any backups. When this happens, an editor =
can spend weeks re-editing a project, because there apparently isn't any =
way currently or time effectively to repair a corrupted Premiere project =
file.



If someone were to write an XML repair tool, and it worked in repairing =
Premiere Pro 1.5 project files, I think a lot of video editors would =
gladly $150 or more for it. I know I would.
