That's a good idea too. Many Wikimedians have at least average quality cameras with video capability. If we could sync average quality video to high quality audio plus slide uploads to Commons, then I think we would do well. Just note that many cameras are limited to taking a half hour of video per file, which I heard is due to European laws that tax "video" equipment at higher rates than "camera" equipment. This may require presenters to pause briefly at half hour intervals for video recording to restart.
Thanks,

For someone living in a remote part of the globe, the cost of participation at Wikimania is something like $1500-$2000 (plus whatever costs it incurs on the organizers). Multiply that by a few hundred and the number you get is way higher than the video production costs.
