Bandwidth issues can easily swamp my upload capabilities (768k). I am
envisioning only the speaker portion to make the video portion smaller.
This would be 25-40 minutes (unless it's me giving another 90 minute
yawner :). So the upload amount drops to ~2Gb or about 40 minutes to
upload one copy.

Ugh.

Maybe BitTorrent...

A most presenters are using some form of presentation tool, a la Open
Office, this is a very good idea. Sound import as mp3 into a
presentation and then adjust the slide timing by watching the video is a
very workable process. If the presentation needs alternate video input
from a gizmo brought in (I'm thinking about the VOIP presentation
showing the hardware) then perhaps a low resolution video coupled with a
hi-res still would suffice.

It can all be "web-a-fied" with the export to Flash capability in OOo.
Of course those of use who use a dual opteron system for a desktop can't
view it as Macromedia _still_ has no 64-bit capable Linux binary and the
32-bit version crashes on load.
