Transcripts would be cool.

Say, I subscribe to this service. There are lots of youtube videos out there. I pay for each transcript. So, once I embed a code, a human being transcribes the video, and transcript shows up. The system can be setup so posts in draft/pending mode in WordPress tell the service that a transcript needs to be generated.

Make it a transcription market - give the transcriptors rights and royalties to their transcriptions.

I wrote a small tool to convert videos to PDF notes, but it is offline for the meantime. Written in Flex. Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-7JCg5fGho Teachers and students mostly use it. Its free.

Nice. Is this app available? The Vidinotes site is down.

I sold the url, but I own the software. I have the app and have been considering having it hosted on a site of similar interest.
