I've received an incredible amount of positive feedback on the 10 minute video of Rails. It's a reasonably comprehensive first impression (despite showing just 5-10% of Rails) delivered to you for no work at all. Forming a similar impression on a framework that just does text documentation and the odd example is a much more time consuming effort. Straight to the "I'll look at this later" pile.
That's why I've started Rails Academy as a place to hold future, more in-depth, video tutorials on Rails. I even got my Sony microphone hooked up to the stereo now, so that should end my brief career in silent movies.
But more importantly, I hope to ignite a general trend within the programming community at large and Ruby in particular: More showing, less telling! Capable programmers do most frameworks, projects, and languages much more justice than a dry piece of text can. I recognize that some frameworks and languages might be better suited for this than others, which is why I'm focusing mostly on Ruby where it's actually possible to show-off really cool stuff in no time at all.
On that note, I'm thrilled to see Mauricio Fernandez pick up the ball and show off his packaging system for Ruby in a series of gif anims. The fact that he chooses to display his wares using Instiki and Active Record made no difference in my appreciation (okay, just a little, then).
P.S.: I've been doing my own recordings with Snapz Pro X. While it's a great tool (albeit with a slightly weird interface), it does produce .mov files, which have proved somewhat hard to digest for the OS X-challenged people out there. Anyone who wants to donate me a copy of Camtasia will hence be much cheered by all since that'll allow me to convert those mov files to Flash, which everyone should be able to see (check out this old, old sample I did while still developing Rails).

did you took a look at vnc2swf ?
It produces .swf files wich are, again, a poroprietary format but maybe little more common than quicktime.
OTOH the software is free as in freedom.
I don't know if it allows audio

The movie is great.
I have been quite annoyed lately at the number of projects whose home pages are all text and bullet points and no examples!
Every project should have a simple example, right on the front page or one click away. Even if it is entirely text-based with no GUI or web page. That way somebody can instantly get the "vibe". If they don't I just assume it's too complicated to even create such an example and I move on.
With the setup video I could immediately see what Rails is like.

David,
I love the videos, but next time I have only one small request. Could you change your display to say 800*600 and then do the movie. I have an iBook which means that displaying your movie I can't get the entire screen on my screen at one time. This is exceptionally frustrating when I can't see the terminal window text being typed. And shrinking the video only results in text that is unreasonable.
Otherwise its great!!!!

Here's a question, that TextMate editor, is there anywhere I can get that? From their official site, it's not out yet. I mean, I love Emacs, but on the Mac I'd like to use Mac tools :)

Only problem is that the movies are non-resumeable downloads. For dial-uppers like myself, this prevents us from downloading the main video. Is it possible to change it?

I have followed your lead and filmed myself installing Rails on Mac OS X 10.3.5 Panther (I had trouble following the official instructions so I decided to write my own based on my steps to a successful installation). You can view it here: http://splashed.org/2004/08/23/movie/ and read my instructions here: http://splashed.org/2004/08/23/installing/
Hope it is of some help to people who are otherwise stuck getting this great application working.

On that vnc2swf, you can do audio... (haven't tried it).

I am still trying to get the build/install to work on Mac OS X. Agree Snapz X Pro interface is a little weird, but defintely the best for screen captured movies on the Mac so far. If you want to get some facial expressions, audio, and screen into the movie download my demo (usersfirst.com) -- it is to be used for usability test and ethnographic research.
Take care!
