IERI Utility

Modified the movie loading page of the utility. First, on the selection page the expected movie is now displayed. Second, when the user attempts to load a movie it is compared with what is stored in the database. If the two don't match the user is asked to try again. This should prevent people from choosing the wrong movie, but the fix is a kludge. I still hope to be able to do drive detection so that the user does not have to locate the movie each time.

FM wants to discuss the porting of the utility from ASP to PHP at some point. I still think it's a premature conversation, however, as I would like to complete another revision before we attempt the conversion. As much time as I have to spend on the utility these days it'll be a few months at the least before I've finished the next revision.
