With a service like that, it helps to have scene detection capabilities as well - so you don't end up having to look at lots of very similar looking thumbnails. So - as opposed to extracting frames at pre-set intervals, extract them when things sufficiently change in the video. That also lets you vary extraction interval between fast action and static talking head-type scenes.

We've done a lot of similar work, will be happy to compare notes.

This should frequently intersect with keyframes for decent/VBR encoded video, if I'm not mistaken.


that's awesome, would love to know more details about the stuff you guys are doing!


will send you a note!


I'm very interested too!


Feel free to connect on LI or otherwise, info in profile. I should probably blog about this!

Nice search engine, btw. Small bug - comma in "Year given".
