One other thing to mention is that for some people, video has very limited value, unless the delivery is particularly inspirational. Reading is a lot more efficient, portable, linkable, etc.
There are reasons to want to hear someone on video: to see how the behave in real-time provides different information about their personality and their mode of thinking. In some cases it may be the next best thing to meeting them in person.
I must say, speeding it up by 40% makes most of these Bloggingheads discussions a lot better -- more interesting and no harder to understand. (Does anybody know why they chose sqrt(2) as the speed-up factor?)
