#2You guys should think about gearing alternate versions of your services towards education. I really wish there existed hubs where universities could upload their lecture videos/slides. It'd be a great service to the students, and to people who are interested in learning various subjects and want a classroom environment where professors can chime in with their advice.

I agree - that's actually what our original plan was, although we decided to target the general case first.

#4I love the way Omnisio works. I have lots of seminars I give so I'll be using this a lot in the near future.

#5I love this software, it's syncing with the start-up school was perfect timing.
They should be working on some deals with seminars and other conventions to get their videos online.
This is a good step forward towards open information.

congrats. I wish it didn't lag my laptop as much though. Regardless, cool piece of tech. Exactly what I was looking for (plus some) and I'm sure it will improve in upcoming iterations.
Any advice: which is better quality video Blip, Google Video or YouTube? In my mind YouTube is out of the question b/c of the limited upload size. Not good for hour long+ lectures.

I'm surprised that nobody's ever mentioned http://epresence.tv/! It's actually fully open source (we use it for archiving our own videos) and it already has powerpoint integration and a slick website. My friend at the UofT was taking a course there with Prof. Baecker and says it's pretty awesome to have video archives with slides to review notes and what not.

Unfortunately they all have different issues. Google video is good because it supports long videos, but some of their servers seem unreliable and occasionally videos fail to load. Blip is good but they don't support seeking well (i.e. you sometimes wont be able to jump ahead to unbuffered parts of the video).
Youtube is actually the most reliable, but as you mention only supports small videos. One option is to break long videos up into 10min chunks and then stitch them together on Omnisio (we support compilations of multiple videos). It's a bit of a pain I know.
We are looking into support for other video sites - I wish there was a perfect answer :)
