Hi This is my personal and rant opinion: I don't watch tutorials videos because they are boring 99% of the time.
The only exception I know that stick me in a tutorial is to watch wink[1] tutorials/sketches. Wink takes timed frames of the screen/window in a tutorial sequence and chain them into Macromedia flash screens where there is room to insert callouts, audio, extra images and mouse movements. These sketches/callouts can be translated. A 30 sec wink sketch is extremely effective. The user control the pace of the sketch: pause / backward / forward. The flash files can be easily packed, distributed and linked in our help system and even hosted in TDF infra. Wink use Macromedia Flash as output. That is an issue. I have not found any equivalent technology open source (HTML5?) and wink does to seem to be very active these days, although the author is still alive in forums.
