Just out of curiosity: Why do you need .NET to make such an application? It doesn't sound like something which would need such an API.
if we were allowed to act in such a way, I'd beat to death every self-proclamed coder here that don't comment his code.
Also if you could, update highness' Gen's Movie editor link... there new url can be found at this thread. I am not sure if it still works with the newer GMVs though... and I still can't seem to get it to open any GMVs even if they were made even 1-2 years ago.

I'm wondering is what would you possibly want to do with a movie file in an editor?
Truncated is the most fiendish instrument of torture ever devised to bedevil the days of man. -- xoinx
1. The possibility to have two movie-files open at the same time. This isn't anything urgent, but it would be a nice feature. I'm thinking that this could be done pretty much the same way as Mozilla Firefox has "tags" or whatever they're called.
2. The possibility to edit the "Author"-text. Since this won't change the movie itself in any way, I think it could be a fun thing to have. It could also be useful, for example, if you forgot to write anything there when you started recording the movie, and want to have your name there when you submit it this site.
3. The possibility to mark several frames at a time. I'm thinking that this could be done by just dragging a box over the frames you want to mark, or by holding down the "ctrl" key and mark the frames you want. The input you then choose, will be applied to all the frames you have marked. As it is right now, it's quite troublesome to make a "hold down B for 50 frames" input in the program, since you would have to apply the B-input to each and every frame.
4. When you choose "Open", it can open all the files you have. Wouldn't it be nicer if it only opens movie-files? This way, if you have both, say .fcm-files and .zip-files in one folder (like I do), it's a lot easier to see what files you can actually open with the program.
5. The option to see the filename of the file you're currently working on. This could be shown above the "ROM Title" box or something.
6. When you press "Save as", it could be nice if it had the default filename by default. In other words, when you for example press "save as" after editing .jpg you have on your computer in Paint, it has the defualt filename by default. I don't know how to put this in other words.... Sorry for being confusing,. :P
7. A small Help-section would be nice to have. It doesn't have to be big, but just a brief guide on how to use this program.
1. How do you use the "Insert Multiple frames" and "Remove multiple frames" functions? 2. How do you use the "Compare movie input range" function?
v0-7

1) Undo button, since it sucks if you somehow stupidly overwritten some of the existing wanted inputs when trying to modify multiple frames 2) Insert input into every other frame button... useful for adding autofire inputs 3) Is there anyway to modify multiple frames of say player 2 only leaving player 1 input unmodified AND/OR a duplicate player 1 input to player 2 AND/OR copy and paste over player 1 input without screwing player 2 input up. This can aid editing of 2 player movies.
1. A "Recent" tag, under "File", similiar to the "Recent" tag under "File" in FCEU.
2. Perhaps an eaier way to record input. It would be nice to be able to just mark the frames you want, and then press, say, the button "b" on your keyboard to apply the input "b" to those frames. It's perhaps a little troublesome to first mark the frames, then write the input in the controller field, and then click update.
3. A "Game pad buttons" field. This is pretty hard to explain, but I mean that you could have a field of boxes (I mean, a box like the "update" and "go" box that are already in the program) representing all the NES-pad buttons. So if you want to apply, say, "Start" to a few frames, just mark the frames you want to apply "Start" to, and left click on the "Start"-box with your mouse.
4. The "Are you sure you want to paste..." box that pops up when you try to copy frames is in a way good, I can see why you implemented it, but if you were to add a "undo" button this feature could be be removed. If you're copy-pasting a lot, this pop-up can get annoying, and if you have an undo-function, you can just press ctrl+z if you make a mistake.
I found what I think is a rather critical bug. If you don't have a movie-file open and "View copy buffer" and press the "Clear" button, I got an "Unhandled exception" error of some sort. You should check it out.
I also found a very small bug. It's really small, so don't worry too much about it. If you have a .fmv file open, and press "Save as", it doesn't recognize it as the format .fmv by default. To compare, if you press "save as" while having a .fcm open, it recognizes it as the format .fcm.
- UI::Frame Data listview now virtual, so all paging functions have been depreciated

Just tried doing 180000, which works since the copy buffer showed after 10 seconds wait. But scrolling down the copy buffer is extremely laggy... sort of what I would have expected for the main edit but it didn't actually happen there
v0-7-1
- UI::Trying to clear an empty buffer was causing an unhandled exception (fixed)
- UI::Buffer ListView now virtual as well (fixes lag issue when copying large blocks)
- UI::Fixed the tab locking when a movie's loaded (the old method was annoying since
the ui would flash if you clicked a tab)
- UI::Fixed a bug in the splicer that wasn't allowing source movies to be loaded
