I really hate* video battle reports.
I'm quite a fast reader, in the 5-6 minutes it takes me to watch an average video battle report I could read two or three average written reports. On top of that, I don't see the point. By necessity they have to be so heavily edited you only get a basic blow by blow account anyway. Unless they have an exceptionally good camera and tripod you can hardly get a decent view of the miniatures and its always from the same, dull isometric angle. With a regular camera and a bit of effort you can get some fantastic, atmospheric battle shots.
Then you get the potential issues with slow connections, shaky camera work, background noise etcetera. Its also much harder to slip in little fluffy descriptions of whats going on as you can with a written report. I've seen some beautiful written battle reports on blogs with dozens of well-thought out photographs, in-depth descriptions of whats going on and little snippets of fluff throughout. A real pleasure to read, I've not seen any video reports come close that providing that degree of pleasure.
On the plus side, though, I was able to hear BigReds sexy man-voice.
As a disclaimer, the above is all my opinion, I realise it is subjective and I am in no way advocating that people who enjoying producing/watching video battle reports should stop.
