just for fun, an idea from the yomichan thread 
mine would be... a program which would load videos with japanese subs alongside it, and lets you watch, but then you can click on the line to go to a specific line. If you need to time or retime the subs slightly, or even just transcribe the line, you could do it there and then. Then you could click one single button to import that line to anki with snapshot and audio, with options to import whatever card layout you wanted, including context lines.
The program would also have some kind of popup dictionary functionality built in, or be online.
Even better if the program could run parallel text & audio for reading too, and you chop where you wanted, like a line, or a smaller bit, or just a word. In the word case, it would instantly pull the correct sound from JDIC and add it to your card.
In a really ideal world, it would work off a database of japanese dvds, which all have japanese subs. Complete with a "like" & review feature to share your favourite media with other koohii users, and smart way to work out difficulty level and i+1 ness to suggest the next i+1 sentence from everything in the database, or the next media to try by overall difficulty level. It would also give you a percentage rating of how much of another piece of media you're likely to understand based on what you've already studied.
ooh, and some kind of grammar analyser, where you can pull up multiple examples of a particular part of grammar for comparison, and then grab the ones you like easily for your anki deck. Complete with a perfect grammar explanation, of course...
oh, and a collocation analyser too, so you could see if what you're adding is a common collocation too.
what would your ideal software be?
