I'm really glad there is a growing number of screencasts and movies about Emacs. You can find many more here: <a href="http://emacsrocks.com/" rel="nofollow">http://emacsrocks.com/</a><p>Also, there are more and more videos of Vim too. Emacs is my favorite text editor, followed by Vim. All this is great news :)
I actually found the content disappointing and don't see why to bother spending tutorial time on explaining them. A somewhat competent programmer will have figured out how to add mode-hooks after looking at his first one or two EmacsWiki pages. describe-variable (and all other describe functions) are covered by most introductions and should be learned before approaching any kind of Emacs customization. The rest is almost exclusively content where the only useful thing is to know that the functionality exists, but which is just to trivial to spend video time on what it does. Video tutorials are nice but I think you would be better of on focusing on the really tricky parts of Emacs and core concepts.
Nit: is there a reason for the download to be in mkv format? I mean, it's simple enough to repackage with ffmpeg (-i ./file.mkv -vcodec copy -acodec copy ./file.mp4), but not everybody is going to be able to do that?<p>Otherwise, thanks! I usually find screencasts to be way too low-bandwidth for technical information, but these are very good. Cheers!
nano-critic: provide a small TOC of the tutorial (some people leverage org-mode/org-babel for this). I find it easier to follow if I know in advance what's in there.
