Tagging Video Segments

Are there any online video sites where users can tag specific segments within videos? Imagine how powerful that would be. Like chapters on DVDs.

For example, someone uploads a half hour video to Youtube or Yahoo Video or wherever. It’s about their trip to San Diego and is tagged “san diego”, “zoo”, “petco park,” etc. Now say I’m looking for video footage of Petco Park because I’ve never been there and want to see what it looks like. I find this video and instead of having to look through a half hour of footage I can jump directly to the bit from Petco Park because that segment is tagged.

One Thought on “Tagging Video Segments

  1. Been doing mpeg video for 4 years now.
    My search lets me start anywhere in a video and
    play for any number of seconds. I usually keep the
    clips short (under 2 minutes) as it takes time to
    start way into a longer clip.
    It can do slow-motion, freeze frame and mini thumbnails
    of each video on a disk. (2 or 3 seconds from the beginning
    of the clip)
