That was our feeling, and that's why we built CrowdAbout.us. We didn't want to make the comments a part of the video screen, but to be associated with specific points along the timeline of the video, and displayed in a post. As part of an embeddable player, it's cool because all the posts and comments travel with the video in the player, and can be read and added to anywhere. Oh, and there's audio and video comments, too.
