See Also: Two Other Video Search Tools We Like Are:
+ SearchforVideo.com
Metasearch of many video sites. They have content deals with many producers including Discovery Networks, Revver, and grouper. Also a useful video podcast directory and the ability to see new content as it enters the database (at the bottom of the home page).
+ Also Very Cool is Nexidia. They offer transcript search but unlike others who use speech to text or closed captioning, Nexidia breaks the spoken word down into phonetic sounds. More here along with a link to a demo.
+ Finally, other useful tools for video searchers including TVEyes, Critical Mention, ShadowTV and Fednet.net.
