I've recently started experimenting with video recording, which works 
quite well e.g. on Ubuntu 12.04 with one of the many open-source 
applications for that.

After spending some hours on it, I tried to present the results on a web 
page and failed miserably.  Web "standards" don't really exist.  One might 
interpret the "5" in HTML5 as "5 years from now" or "need 5 different 
formats for your video".  Most people seem to delegate the problem to 
Youtube.

I am only a beginner in the film production business.  So maybe some 
experts on it can say more.

Once the technical side-conditions are worked out, one needs to have a 
good "script" to explain how to produce nice proof documents (not 
scripts).
