I'm familiar with GlifosMedia, a video repository solution that lets you
manage your videos via a wiki interface and most importantly, "enrich" your
videos with synchronized tables of content, transcripts, images, and more,
and serve them via a streaming server.  The New Media archive at the
MarroquĂ­n University in Guatemala has over 1,000 hours of videos, for
example see this interview with Caroline Frick:

http://newmedia.ufm.edu/frickinterview

The table of content is much useful when delivering a full lecture lasting
one hour of longer, or an interview, as in the Texas Legacy Project (
http://glifos.cah.utexas.edu) or The Genocide Archive Rwanda (
http://www.genocidearchiverwanda.org.rw/) with videos accompanied by
synchronized maps, translations, name indices, etc.

Hope this is useful,
-Grete

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues 
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
