Google pinged me recently via my adsense account reminding me that I can
embed google videos on my site if I want. Now, this is not news really, but
it did prompt me to think whether we could be taking advantage of the now-
common ability to embed flash videos by having some folks do up some sample
'how to use POV-Ray' (or other demonstration) videos* via screen-capture
programs, then upload them to google video ... I could then embed some of
them on the POV web site.

Thoughts?

* I realise the limited resolution of the typical video site would present
  some challenges if capture was of the entire screen - probably some post-
  editing would be needed to only present the area of interest prior to
  uploading, and perhaps magnify it to boot (especially if it's text).

Personally, I think it would be great to have some beginner-level 
tutorials. I also think it would be nice to give Povray animators some 
representation in the Hall of Fame. (Some of Rune's work comes to mind.)

Since using POV-Ray involves 99% text editing, I doubt video would be able
to convey any information that a simple HTML page wouldn't, except maybe the
way one goes about editing their SDL. There might be an advantage to video
but I don't know what it would be.
