Stef, it occurs to me now that you might be useful to look at
Transana:
http://www.transana.org/

Transana is software for professional researchers who want to
analyze digital video or audio data. Transana lets you analyze
and manage your data in very sophisticated ways. Transcribe it,
identify analytically interesting clips, assign keywords to clips,
arrange and rearrange clips, create complex collections of
interrelated clips, explore relationships between applied keywords,
and share your analysis with colleagues.

It is written in Python, uses Scintilla, and is open source (GPL):
