Well, not really - uploading video is still laborious because we've
been waiting literally years for the Timed Media Handler, which is a
wikitech issue. Andrew could probably deal with the ffmpeg2theora bit,
but it's still faffy and troublesome.

Where's the latest thread on the Timed Media Handler progress?

I am meeting with MIT Open CourseWare tomorrow - they want to expand
the set of videos they released last year under CC-SA, starting with
categories / vids that would be fill gaps on Wikipedia.  Any thoughts
on how to make that collaboration more effective would be welcome.

You can upload them to Internet Archive, if Wikipedia has temporal issues with videos. When the problems are fixed, we can move them from Internet Archive to Wikimedia Commons.
