Here are some requirements which you might or might not have considered.

Not only does my application needs to place "bookmarks" in a video stream,
but i need to save them on disk.  Perhaps i'll spend 100 hours adding
lots of bookmarks to a video stream.  Once i have a nice crispy bookmark
file then i want to be able to email it to my friends.  Of course my
friends will have the same movie/video but perhaps in a different format.
Maybe i'm working with DVD and they have the same film in VCD, or Ogg Tarkin,
whatever.  So i'm concerned about whether i can take my bookmarks
and re-align them with a slightly different video.
