Well, writing a critical material about the Moronity of audio videos out there I presumably put myself in a position of a person "who knows better". The reality of the things is that if I do believe that I know better and if my task would be to use video to depict how Macondo sounds then I would end up mostly with garbage, not different then the garbage of the people that I criticize. My critiques of people out there in fact not about the fact that they useless video but that they use very bad judgment uploading them.
 
For sure we have no stylistic or good successes to let video to be audio informative. Wilson probably makes the best infomercials but they are not about sound but rather about SCU items.  Also, video Wilson stylistic is very tightly tight with HP-style subliminal messaging.
 
Probably if I use a camera to talk about a playback then I would use the second type video from my classification, as Jorge noted.   Presumably I know what and how to depict I have a chance to be instructive to demonstrate why this or that playback effort produce this or that result. However, this type of the video would have any interest ONLY for the individuals who able understand and able to appreciate what they observe and… those people do not need to see the video as they have already know all of it. From Jorge example: if I am a car racer/designer and I see another car taking 90 degree turn at 100 m/h then observing the event I can recognize what might happening under the hood. If I am clueless about cars then I see something but understand nothing. The point is that I for instance make a very detail "expository video" about let say time alignment with Macondo, or line level filtration with DSET, or channels nitration by loading, or acoustic system and room integration but it would be understood ONLY by the people who already know it. I think we do see only what we understand….
