Video was very helpful, keep it up!

Like the video, but I have to say your resolution is too high for a screen cast.  As you are going through the demonstration and highlighting lines of code, it's difficult to understand what's in those lines of code unless you spoke about it.

Personally I'm not soo much a fan of Video's. They don't give you the possibilites to quickly glance over something or have a look at the summary/result.

I would prefer simple text. It's indexable by search engines. You can easily fix it if there's a typo, improvement, changes etc. I can skim through with my eyes. Resolution is my preferred resolution, not your choice during the recording. It's friendly to people with disabilities. So on so forth.

All are IMHO, though.

For example, I can't turn on the sound ATM and text is too small. Although I get how it's done, so I couldn't get the the full trick. I'm now going to google it to find an article in text

I like the video.
My comments on the actual technical part is that it looked like to me your total request time went up even though you had fewer requests.  is that within the normal request latency variation, or an actual difference based on the bigger CSS file?

To get back to the technical discussion.
There is an intersting acticle about the performance of Data URI's on Ajaxian:

Mads,

Your articles are among the best on the net,  but I only watch video when I really HAVE to ...... text for technical articles is IMHO far superior.

Video/Podcasts are simply too time consuming and too "immersive" ... you MUST concentrate on them rather than "skip-read" and refer to other articles etc.

I think most people in general do not watch videos and would prefer to just see some pics.. however I did not know how to embed images ... so i watched the video

Thanks for the video.  I like videos when I am learning something that I am not very familiar with.  I think text and video would be great.

I think it will be more effective if you can provide a caption/subtitle on the video. Now regarding the conversion of image to base64, is there a limit in size of image in converting using the tool?

Interesting video. I think 6 minutes is a long time. Add a time structure as a sort of content page of a book. Would help viewers.

Nice info. The video is helpful to undershand what is you want to deliver instead of regular text. Video is more understandable than regular text for person that not good enough of knowing the English language like me. The disadvantages of video are require huge bandwidth to viewing smoothly. This is not suitable for most Internet users in my country with low bandwidth Internet access.

screencast-o-matic is cool but this info would be better passed on textually IMO. Thanks for the tip though - I'd used base64 before for putting images in the microformat address data as on http://www.barefoot-ceramics.co.uk - but never direct in a CSS file.
