Check out http://pad.ma.
seems like a cool way to archive moments.
If you click on a page....you can "scroll" through the video just be
mousing over it.
Below is the official description.

PAD.MA is an online archive of densely text-annotated video material,
primarily footage and not finished films. The entire collection is
searchable and viewable online, and is free to download.

We see PAD.MA as a way of opening up a set of images, intentions and
effects present in video footage, resources that conventions of video-
making, editing and spectatorship have tended to suppress, or leave
behind. This expanded treatment then points to other, political
potentials for such material, and leads us into lesser-known territory
for video itself... beyond the finite documentary film or the online
video clip.

The design of the archive makes possible various types of "viewing", and
contextualisation: from an overview of themes and timelines to much
closer readings of transcribed dialogue and geographical locations, to
layers of "writing" on top of the image material. Descriptions, keywords
and other annotations have been placed on timelines by both archive
contributors and users. At the moment, PAD.MA has approximately 160
"events" on video, mostly from Mumbai and Bangalore. This adds up to
about 100 hours of fully transcribed video footage, which we expect to
grow to more than 400 hours by early 2009.

The PAD.MA project is initiated by a group consisting of oil21.org from
Berlin, the Alternative Law Forum from Bangalore, and three
organisations from Mumbai: Majlis, Point of View and
Chitrakarkhana/CAMP.
