How hard would it be to develop a app like ITunes, but for video?

How hard would it be to create an application like ITunes, but instead of being based on audio files it would be based on video files....with a itunes style store attached to it and everything, where videos can be bought

how hard would that be?

a windows based application is not a shapping cart

it basically would be a windows based app that linked to an online store within the app

how hard would it be to create the windows based application?

Fairly easy; but very labor intensive and expensive.

You mean a standalone app? This is a very good Idea. I would use Java. You'll need a server application (of course you could make it easy and interact in HTTP POST with some scripts on your server - this will most likely be slower) that queries a database. If you can find a good open source media player component (or one that opens a web browser frame), I imagine most of the code would be simple database operations.

Personally, if you want to make it a more professional app, I wouldn't use Java. I'm not saying you have to program it ASM or anything, but I would recommend at least MS Visual Studio or Delphi. You may also want to look into socket programming for this app.

Sockets are so easy in Java though. And portablilty... And the IDEs are free. Plus Java is starting to close in on C++ for speed.
