Preferred length of videos: extended (twenty plus).
Preferred distribution: YouTube, Blog or download them all as a package.

Yea what Betty says is true for me as well. My company blocks youtube website. When I’m at work I have no choice but to view from your blog. But when I’m at home, Youtube is the best option. :)

Betty,

I just added “YouTube blocked?”links after each video that goes to a mirror on MATLAB Central servers. These do not have the cool preview and take longer to start streaming, but you should be able to view them. Also, you can just go to this URL http://blogs.mathworks.com/images/pick/POTW/ to get to the files directly for download.

I’d love a download package.
My company must be blocking YouTube also. I can’t see it at all at work. I can access it at home, but it’s frustrating – I’m still on a dial up at home – I can get the video but it’s five words and a 10 second pause. I also can’t run MATLAB at home to test out what I’m seeing in the video while I’m seeing it. Are the videos available anyplace besides YouTube?

Interesting. I never thought about blocking.

I have another plan for my next video. I will be hosting here at The MathWorks.

Thanks for the information.

Videos are great, but I suspect youtube is being blocked by several company firewalls. At least that’s the case at GE.

The mini videos are an excellent learning aid.
1. Not more than 5 minutes, the shorter the better.
2. Depending on storage on your server, one you could create an archive of each mini video and users can have an option to download specific choices. It also removes the need to be tied to an application from a specific vendor (which is way IMHO YouTube is not so good an idea).

Rich,

I use Camtasia to make the software.

Doug,
Good idea. What software are you using to make these videos?
