Aloha,
At the University of Hawaii College of Education we use "Qualifiers"
for situations you mention.
Advantages
Logs timing marks with mark or mark back capability.
You can mark back and annotate while you are watching.
Categorization is easy.
It is $35.
Caveat
Works only on System 10 Macs running QuickTime.
Go to http://www.hawaii.edu/crdg/learntech.htm
and click on "Qualifiers."
To save our researchers lots of time, we are finishing up development
on "Live Video Logger". It allows marking and annotation while
recording. Requires a digital video camera and firewire connection to
the computer.
