    Brand recognition isn't everything. With sites like Truveo and Blinkx TV, you can just search through all the various video websites out there, no matter what site they're on.

    I got this link from the blinkx.tv site the responder above linked to:

    On page 7:
    Indexing

    blinkx TV uses advanced indexing technology to watch, listen to, and read a video
    or audio signal in real time to build a rich index that you can use to quickly locate
    specific segments within the video content or audio clip. In turn blinkx TV stores
    the information it extracts in metadata tracks in a video index. blinkx TV
    automatically generates metadata tracks to save information generated by the
    media analysis process. The information in all metadata tracks are time stamped
    and synchronized with the associated digital video file.
    i.e. Similar, but automated authoring of metadata stored seperate from the media clips.
    (Makes sense - allows easy playback by users; also allows them to refine metadata while the media clips themself do not genreally change)

    Best wishes.

    Sounds great, unfortunately

    blinkx requires Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 2000 or Windows XP (support for other versions of Windows coming soon) in order to be able to run. Microsoft Office is supported up to MS Office 2003.
    You're wrong. I linked to the main blinkx-page, which also promotes a desktop search tool. That tool's for Windows and soon for Mac.

    But the video search is a web search, such as Google. I.e. as cross platform as it gets (what software you need to watch the videos are another matter, of course). Try it yourself on www.blinkx.tv.

    As cool as Google is, I also think Blinx.com's search deserves mentioning. According to their white paper they transcribe video content on the fly, and you can even set up "smart searches" which notifies you when new content matching your search becomes available.

    This apparently only applies to video content available on the web, but I guess it could potentially be done with TV content as well. It seems to me like this -- if it works -- is one step ahead of Google's approach.
