Mass import node creation

I'm using KalturaCE with the Drupal extensions, and I'm loving it.

I got about 300-400 flv files to put into Kaltura. I can easily create a CSV file to do the import into Kaltura, not a big deal.

However, I am thinking about constructing a front end to the videos in Drupal, so I'd also need to create Drupal Nodes for each of these videos.

I've seen how I can upload, name, and view videos from within Drupal, but my issue is auto creating the Drupal nodes for the videos I import directly into Kaltura via the automated import.

Anyone done anything like this?

I imagine it will involve a database query from Kaltura's MySQL tables (after my videos are imported), and some sort of script in drupal to do automated node creation. Does this sound like a plausible approach? Anyone ever done anything like this?
