The Media Center add-in is similar to the Big Screen TV Shows application Ginsbourg first previewed in December. But while the TV Shows program has been held up by copyright concerns (Ginsbourg's trying to determine how to let users access series and episode data without breaking any laws), Big Screen Movies will be ready when it's ready, which is why it's code-named "fatlady."
Big Screen Movies gives you more control over the metadata available (cover art, descriptions, actor info etc) for your video collection. It also lets you browse your offline DVD collection. Windows Media Center only shows you info about your DVDs when you insert them.
The software is not yet available to the public, but it looks like you can expect a beta release of Big Screen Movies long before you'll ever get your hands on Big Screen TV Shows.
