Looking through a few of these, I really wish they would put some more effort into the sound quality. One of the lectures on forms was so warped, like they had hooked the mic up to a guitar amp.

The phrase "quality over quantity" really comes to mind. Lynda makes great tutorials, and TED talks are just amazing (presentation wise). The Stanford tutorials may have great content, but then again so do books...if you're going to do videos, at least do it right. There is little point publishing just for the sake of publishing.

Though I guess these lecture recordings are the equivalent of alpha software...so I might just have somewhat high expectations.
