Dear all,
I don't have an answer but am pondering related questions:
The Open Access Media Importer has uploaded over 10k files so far
(mostly videos, plus a few audio files), but I have no idea what
percentage that is of the video or audio files that are on Commons.
.
However, for category-based stats, we have GLAMorous, which also
yields the number of uses per file across projects, as well as the
total number of files per project, e.g.

Andrew -- Good question. I have an answer. It's a
few years old. But if you
like my method, I bring the data up to date.
I used my exploratory parsing mechanism to look for [[File: ... ]] links to
media files. I first ignored files with familiar suffixes like jpg, png, gif
and pdf. This left lots of ogg and ogv files which I separated out as
videos. This left a couple of oga files and some strange suffixes I didn't
recognize like djvu, shivg and ext. I ignored them.
All total I found 878 video files on 707 pages, 227 of which were flagged
as "Articles containing video clips".
I also looked for {{cite video ... }} templates and found 9,716 of them.
I'm scraping this information from an enwiki.xml dump file downloaded Sep
22, 2010. It was 12,162,183,168 bytes uncompressed and contained 2,598,517
pages.
I'm attaching a text file with one line for each page on which I found (at
least) one video. The tab-separated columns are: page-title, media-file,
clips-flag.
I'd be happy to adjust my methods if there are other ways to markup a video.
I hope this is useful.
Best regards. -- Ward

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone has done any research into identifying which
articles in Wikipedia have associated video?
There is this category, which only has 280 or so articles:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Articles_containing_video_clips
It seems far from complete. Appreciate any advice or previous work in this
area.
The background: I'm working with some grad students on staging a Wiki Makes
Video contest in April, and we'd like to do some measurement of the current
state of video in Wikipedia.
Thanks, and email me if you'd like to know more about the video project for
April.
