Firefox Plugin Annodex For Searching Audio, Video 129
loser in front of a computer writes "ZDNet Australia reports that 'Australia's CSIRO research organisation has developed a Firefox plugin named Annodex that allows browsing through time-continuous media such as audio and video in the same way that HTML allows browsing through text.' I've just checked Annodex out and it's very cool. The sample video from the Perl conference is way funny too." The catch is, the media to be searched has to be prepped first.

Isn't that obvious? It's too much to expect it to be able to search video without knowing what it is.

A cool application, nonetheless.

Currently trying to get a computer to understand something in pictures, even less in motion pictures is very inaccurate and extremly prosessor intensive, unless one uses a really small subset(like fingerprint recognition)

Now, I might be wrong, but chances are that what you got instead of Ogg Theora compressed files were Ogg Media Files [faireal.net] (.ogm).
OGM is a container format for audio/video that supports multiple subtitles (just like you mentioned) and multiple audio tracks. From what I personally know, the video is usually compressed with XviD and the audio with Ogg Vorbis.
(see also Matroska [matroska.org] which does the above, and more)
