Thanks Jules. The Virage technology is very interesting. Here's some info from the Virage website... Virage is the pioneer and recognized market leader in video and image search software. Founded in 1994, Virage addresses a widespread and growing problem - how to make rich media assets more accessible. While entire industries have been spawned to create, manipulate, distribute and store rich media content, very few companies have focused on making these valuable assets easy to locate, browse and deploy. In their standard form, video and images do not lend themselves to the same simple, yet powerful search and management techniques available for text and numbers. Virage products enable organizations to get a handle on the terabytes of video and image content they own. The media indices, or metadata, generated by Virage software form the basis for managing these rich but opaque data types, just as a card catalog unlocks the wealth of knowledge in a large library. The Virage VideoLogger application and associated products set the standard for real-time indexing, search and retrieval of video across the enterprise, while the company's Visual Information Retrieval (VIR) Engine is the most widely adopted image recognition technology available today. Virage customers rely on these products as the critical foundation technology for accessing, managing and distributing media throughout organizations. Headquartered in San Mateo, Calif., Virage is a well funded, privately held company. The company's financial backers are some of the nation's leading venture capital and technology firms, including Adobe Ventures, a partnership between Adobe Systems and Hambrecht & Quist; Compaq Computer Corporation; Sutter Hill Ventures; Trinity Ventures; Media Technology Ventures and TTC Ventures.
