Christian, there is software around that can be used for transcribing. I myself use "Goldwave" (check "http://www.goldwave.com/") for transcribing on the PC. Goldwave lets you slow down the sound (e.g. a *.wav-file) just like my old transcribing machine does. It can do more however (e.g. you can anonymize episodes by inserting beeps over names or reverting the sound). For playing video (*.avi) on the PC, I use the standard WIndows media player. There is a player called "ladybug" (I don't have the web-site at hand) which lets you play e.g. *.avi-files in slow motion (with the sound) but unfortunately this is no good for navigating in the movie.
