[Updated 14/1/2008]
Thanks to Carolyn Kotlas and INFOBITS for highlighting the stunning MIT Lecture Browser. Use it to search a large body of MIT OpenCourseWare video assets, scroll through a machine-generated - and reasonably accurate - transcript of the audio to the asset (a lecture, say), and then navigate accurately to the point in the lecture that interests you. For reasons I cannot yet fathom, I could not get the video to play in my browser, but even without this I was gripped by the Lecture Browser's underlying utility, even without being able to play the video properly, [14/1/2008] though following the advice in the comment below I have now solved the problem.
