Jehan is right that we can imagine instant streamed videos -- the<br>
bootleg videos Dave Crossland posted in Toronto were popular precisely<br>
because they were available right away. But they were not a substitute<br>
for higher quality videos produce later.<br>
<br>
Best to get something up now if it isn't already, but perfectly OK to<br>
update the videos later.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
