The Missing Link: Video Search

• Information comes from many, disparate sources• Traditional media outlets (TV Networks, Movie & Music studios)• Alternative and Independent film and movie makers• Internet-only content sources (iFilm, AtomFilm, etc)• User-generated content (videoblogs, podcasts, etc) The bar to entry for video-publish is extremely low

• But searching for video is much harder than text• understanding audio• little or misleading meta-data• many file formats
