I don't even want the transcript, because people speak in incomplete sentences and don't think about what they say as much as they (should) think about what they write. And podcasts are even worse.... Video really bites for transferring basic information.

Interesting post

What about adding html page around the video with the video transcript as text and keywords to search for the information?

However, I think your evaluation of video as a medium of information exchange is based on ideas of what video has been, rather than what it should be: Video should be precisely searchable and navigable by location of text within the transcript. Video search results need only include enough contextual surroundings of the search matter, in order to provide meaning to the researsher. In other words, video should be easily parsable, as well as searchable and navigable by the text and or concepts it contains. All of this is possible and happening now--if only in small projects, but it is happening. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater though. Video is great, it just needs to incorporate some of the things that we developers have come to know and love about the textual, and contextual internet. Afterall, won't it be great when we can parse a variety of video libraries, tag their contents with ontologies, run a reasoner over them--and create new video mashups based on reasoning algorithms, archetypal pattern formation, and guided story development? The possibilities for video involvement in human knowledge engineering are only in their infancy. Don't hate: video...but if you have to hate, hate the way you've experienced it.

In fact, tv is best if you can do something useful with your hands while watching it :-) It might be that I don't have a working short wave radio just now though... But you might also be interested in this story from slashdot: http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/08/12/2325218 the most interesting stuff is in the comments, about IPv4 vs IPv6. Recent internet usage (ie video) is fast outgrowing the current internet protocol? O I don’t agree, I sew (and sometimes draw and sometimes chop vegetables) and watch tv.
