Did you know that you can use WaveSurfer to view transcribed (or to perform transcription on) videos as well as audio? I do now: just install the plugin available here.

Word of warning tho: It says

Web-based install: In WaveSurfer, select Plug-ins from the File menu. Under Plug-ins available for installation, select video and click install.

I don’t know where that is. I have the latest version of Wavesurfer (I just downloaded it) and no such option exists in the file menu. Just follow the manual install instructrions (which I have edited slightly – in bold)

Manual installation (Windows): Download and open http://www.speech.kth.se/wavesurfer/video.zip . Put the files video.plug and QuickTimeTcl.dll the WaveSurfer plugins directory %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\.wavesurfer\1.8\plugins for WaveSurfer 1.8.*, where HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH are Windows environment variables (in most cases the directory will be C:\Documents and Settings\username\.wavesurfer\1.8\plugins). Optionally, also put Video.conf in your configurations directory.

UPDATE: I guess this is an example of freedback, so I’ve added that category/tag. (More freedback here)
