Any proposal needs to be sustainable in terms of costs and volunteer time (e.g. for recording, uploading indexing etc). Using multiple services is going to become very cumbersome and is unlikely to be sustainable in my opinion unless the video volunteers have a lot of time available.

Whilst an archive is a nice to have most of the presentations at FOSS4G have a limited shelf life and we need to balance the effort involved in having downloadable archives with the likelihood of them ever being used and the cost of maintaining them.
