I really wish the Strangeloop talk videos weren't posted in an excruciatingly long timeframe. Last year's conference was in September 2012 but the last of the videos didn't appear until April 2013. 4-6 months is an eternity when you're considering the shelf life of tech conference talk content.

As someone who wasn't able to attend this year because I changed jobs a month before the meeting and had to give my ticket back to my old employer, I would gladly pay $50-$100 for a video pass if it meant getting access to the content sooner.

I think it may be a few weeks before the video timeline is posted, but conference attendees are able to access draft videos of nearly all the talks already.

It was quite a conference, and several of the talks were really good. I too wish they posted the talks publicly sooner, but posting them through the year seems to be a very effective way to sustain buzz.

A video pass is certainly something we have talked about. The method of screencapping and doing early release is kind of "beta" but seems to have worked quite well.

Let me second the request for a video pass. I would love instant access to some of the talks. I would actually love to attend a StrangeLoop but so far that hasn't been in the cards.

I would love to hear what you (or anyone else) thinks is a "fair" rate for early access to videos (about 60) from the conference.

$10/vid is impulse purchase territory and i'd pay $100 for the lot without thinking too much about it
