To provide some context, currently 75% of people visiting wordpress.org 
are on Windows, 16% on Mac, and about 8% Linux/FreeBSD/etc. Following 
the 80/20 rule, and realizing that the Windows/Mac users are probably 
less savvy than our Linux audience, we should probably use a format that 
is most widely available on those two platforms.

http://www.cnet.com/ currently embeds videos in Flash and it's probably 
one of the best video experiences I've seen online. I know this takes 
some work but I don't know exactly what's involved but for displaying 
the video I think it's definitely something we should research.

For recording the video, I think it's whatever works for the people who 
are going to be doing it.
