I discovered that the video editor I'm now using can render iPod and Sony PSP compatible files. I've been asked about video iPod versions on occasion but that was a while back. Is there any value to offering these options?

My though is...if you need to watch instructional videos on the go...you must be a busy person. Now, if you're a busy person...this type of shaving is probably not your particular cup of tea. I would consider myself a busy person since im in the Navy and stationed with deployable Marine units...but i find time to watch the videos on the internet when im not doing anything, so i think others should be able to do the same. By the way i must thank Mantic59. Now i can pass down this somehow lost art to my son. I'll be using a small travel Gillette during my deployment to Bangladesh for the next two weeks. Thanks again. -Doc Dorman
If you're ever planning to turn this into a podcast (complete with free distribution via iTunes), it's a good idea. If you're not moving in that direction, YouTube/Google Video is fine. My opinion.
I'd stick to the current format. Your videos are usually pretty short. If something is short I'll just watch it on my computer. If it's longer than say 7 minutes or so I might consider downloading to my portable video device but probably not.
It takes time to download and transfer, for me it's quicker to just watch it in a browser.
If you were doing regular (IE weekly) releases of content, it'd be pretty neat to have as a video-cast (vodcast) ipod-etc format, sure.... but since it's NOT like that, I wouldn't necessarily bother.
THAT said, I'd certainly subscribe to a mantic pod/vodcast. :)
I am a confirmed podcast viewer and if you put them on iTunes, you might reach an even larger audience. Put them up one per month and see if you reach a new group. However, I have already viewed most of your videos on YouTube. So if it is too much work, don't bother.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to do this. Your videos are excellent.
Perhaps even put a series of them together on a DVD and sell them for a nominal fee.

I don't think it is of much value. Also, iPod Touch/iPhones have youtube apps so they can see your youtube channel.

Direct them to tubetv or similar to convert the youtube videos to an iPod-compatible format.
