Since video files are inherently linear and optimized for sequential playback, a major hurdle is efficiently searching for specific "data points" (frames) without re-encoding the whole file.
: Use MP4 chapter tags to label events or data types within the file. This makes the "database" human-readable in standard media players like VLC . full db.mp4
: This allows for sub-second search times across millions of text chunks by leveraging a video player’s "seek" functionality to jump directly to the relevant data. Other Practical Feature Ideas Since video files are inherently linear and optimized
