Hi, Alex,
Check out the CHILDES site. They have all sorts of transcription aids, as
well as analysis tools (as long as you transcribe in their system, which is
basically ASCII (I'm sure it's updated by now to permit slightly more
'elegant' transcriptions, ie ANSI). The tools are quite useful. (Child
Language Data Exchange System: childes.psy.cmu.edu/)
Don't let the 'child language' label fool you: the system is quite versatile
and general (and, of course, includes video capabilities of the sort you are
looking for). Now, I have not entered deeply into this system, being an
oldie but fogey, but my wife (who works on child language) uses it and
swears by it.
