Lydia & Sue,
I suggest that you have a look at C-I-SAID ( information on my web page
www.code-a-text.co.uk) it handles both video and audio data, can undertake
content analysis alongside qualitative methods and is specifically designed
to integrate the qualitative and quantitative. It also has specific methods
for sequentially analysing data.
Regards
Alan Cartwright
