What if you write out the video to .5 second frames, then find a bayesian classifier that can classify images. Train the classifier to recognize images that have the features you're looking for and then when you have fed it enough samples, run it over the whole lot and have it tell you which ones are potentially interesting. If it gets a lot wrong, retrain, and try again. Of course, by the time you get all this working, you might already have been able to watch the 10 hours. Silent movies used to be popular...
