Interactive Video - Zaption and EdPuzzle
Both of the following tools are very similar. They allow you to insert comments, questions in the midst of a video. Differences? Zaption allows you to add images and annotate/draw on the video. EDPuzzle allows you to add your own audio notes. Check out both and see what you like!

Use Zaption’s intuitive web app to quickly add images, text, quizzes, and discussions to existing videos from YouTube, Vimeo and private video libraries. The result is an interactive learning tour that transforms video from a "lean back" experience to an engaging "lean forward" activity. -- from the Zaption site

VIDEO INSTRUCTION
These are Zaption tours I created to demonstrate some of the features. Times given are for the duration of the video. Actual time to view the Zaption “tour” will likely take a few seconds longer since the video stops for the viewer to read text slides and answer questions inserted at various points.
To finish out, these are just my standard recordings (embedded below) without bringing them into Zaption:

Another Video Tool - VideoNot.es
VideoNot.es creates synchronized notes -- students watch a video and take notes simultaneously and the notes are timestamped. Click the note to go to the precise moment of the video when the note was taken. Very clever!
