Oh another idea I had for this - since this is something I have been
thinking about as well - there is a format called 'CMML' [1] with which
you can set timestamp-based markers in video. You can set these markers
using gstreamer. But we don't have players to understand them. I was
thinking it would be awesome to be able to set markers in the video file
(eg. task #1 starts now, task #2 starts now, point of interest A, point
of interest B) using the CMML format, and then opening up the video in
totem and writing a totem plugin so that the bookmarks show up in the
totem sidebar and you can click on them to jump through the video. Or
when rendering the video you could use them to render the video into
chunks based on the bookmark.

I am not comfortable with Launchpad. I would much rather prefer
something upstream at gnome.org.
