This is an interesting talk, but it is substantially similar to the previous one that was already out there.

Which makes me think: it would be interesting to have a diff tool for videos, but it diffs a representation of the content not specific video frames.

Customers might include all the students of Udacity, Coursera, EdX and Startupschool.

That seems too granular, as an additional 'uh' or 'and' would cause a sentence to be seen as different.

It might work well if you can first pair up the similar sentences from A and B, using word-level edit distance, or mapping to a lower-dimensional space using sentence embedding?

"seems too granular,"

Probably right. I used the term diff as a concept not implementation.

Can't help with the diff tool concept, but I built a search engine for talks, which semi-randomizes the results to force a variety in the search results.

For business talks, you can see it here: http://findlectures.com/?p=1&type1=Conference&talk_type_l2_C...

This includes the older startup school talks, plus a few good software business conferences. For the next phase, I want to highlight talks that are most unique to the category (using word lists in the transcript/captions, not video diff)

Could you link the other one, thanks!
