IBM (and others) make some software to handle things like this. Very, very expensive. The kind of coding you are talking about is built into the MPEG-7 metadata standard; tools that implement *that* are likely to be at least similar to what you will want. [There's certainly a dearth of tools that implement mpeg-7; if it were me, I would probably mock up an excel spreadsheet with appropriate fields and just set off to work...] --elijah On Sun, 10 Dec 2006, Anders Fagerjord wrote:

A colleague of mine is looking for software for content analysis of video.
They are doing a large quantitative study on smoking in Norweian movies since 1945, and are looking for a program that can help researchers code scenes in a digital film (preferably a DVD), by logging time codes for scenes, and storing the coding information.
Such software is mentioned in the international literature on "Smoking in the movies", but how and where can one get hold of it? If there are several candidates, does anyone have experience with some of them?
