You watch a video say "Gee, I like that dance." Which is actually part
of a larger complete movie. Say the dance scene in Pulp Fiction.
Select the scene using the time line or by entering in time code, and
have the movie search a data base for "similar" dances, perhaps even in
the correct context (Fictional Film, John Travolta, 50s music - or was
it 60s?). This is all done with meta data, which can be embedded into
the actual QT movie file.
I KNOW, Harry, that is not what you want. You would like to do
something like cut your own video, run it, and have it automatically
query a data base that would deliver all similar movies that look, in
some way, similar to the one you created. Apologies in advance for
assuming "I know" what you want. I am only guessing.
Anyway, there are a number of companies who claim to have software that
can recognize images on video and create relevant meta data. So in
this case, if the software is reliable and accurate technology, you
could have a video of a fire truck, and have the database look for all
video's of a fire truck. However it would not distinguish between
either toy and real fire trucks nor the context that they are presented
this makes it a limiting solution EVEN if it was a reliable technology.
And to my knowledge MPEG 7 or 21 cannot do what you asked below.

Lead' to a video database and the software would hunt up all similar
clips to the clip I 'presented'.
