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,

But I do want to say: the cost/benefit analysis
needs to consider the
quality of the viewers and not just the quantity.
Even if we only consider the quantity, I wonder how the cost of making
the videos compares to the cost of bringing people here. 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.
