The Future of Videos on the Internet

Every time I’m watching a video on the internet I’m wondering if it would be a better and easier way.

Firstly, I’d like to get a transcript of the video. Through a bookmarklet or anything Javascripty. This way I could quickly skim over it and pick the parts that I’m interested in.

Then, I’d like to have each phrase linked back to the specific point in the video. In case I’m interested in the visual part, I could quickly check it out.

Moreover, using this video bookmark, I could further quote it and refer others to it.

Anything you’d add?
