Adding to the Database: Can this be streamlined?

[DaBargainHunta]

I've added a couple of movies over the weekend, which are still in various stages of processing.

This is the way it's done now:

1. If the movie itself doesn't exist, you have to add that first.

2. If certain cast members, the director, etc. aren't in the database, they're another separate addition.

3. After the movie is added, you then have to port it over to DVD (or Blu, or whatever). Again, separate.

4. Once that is approved, then you can add cover art.

Is there any chance of being able to do all of this at once, instead of in separate increments? I'm not sure I understand why the process needs to be piecemeal.

Thanks.

Edit: BTW, much appreciation to TheDean for approving every step of this process so far.
