On the other hand, it may be the reason why we still don't have Wikimania 2012 videos while FOSDEM 2013 videos were online only a few days after the conference.
I think most are online already at http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhVZi8OXqfHtOiP2LADQW_jMY5kGPjYMs&...
Sure, but for practical purposes that's been mostly useless to me. I had to manually upload some videos myself to Commons, and of course I can't do anything about the quality.
And maybe sometime in the next few months they'll make their way to commons. (I've asked about that relatively recently and there has been relatively recent communication between the Wikimania team and the vendor they're waiting on.)
However, your reasoning might be correct; I don't know much about FOSDEM video besides that a lot is the same as DebConf video. (both in terms of methods and equipment but also overlap in team members) The DebConf method involves streaming and recording the stream for upload. Files are then given a quick review to be sure there's no readily apparent serious issues and are then available for download by the general public. There is no editing done at all unless a major problem is found, so no waiting for the editing process to finish.
And surely the also have no waiting for someone outside the organising team with shell access to upload them to the server!
