3 is good. You rarely need to look at the speaker. Hell, people there don't even look at the speaker. They're either trying to read the small print on the slides or working on e-mails :).
 
4 wouldn't be too bad either. As long as the viewer can follow along with the slides locally.

Program Committee People,
I'd like your input and advice on recording EclipseCon sessions for later webcast/podcast. There are four options listed here in order of decreasing cost (or, should I say, in order to increasing number of sessions that can be recorded) (estimated number of talks we can afford to do this way in parentheses):
  1. Camera recording the speaker on stage synced with an XGA recording of the presenters screen. The end result is a side-by-side person and presentation. (2)
  2. Camera recording the speaker on stage (and audio, of course). The end result would be something like the TED Talks but of course not nearly so polished as TED. (6)
  3. An XGA recording of the presenters screen, but not the presenter at all. The end result would be something like a screencast. (24)
  4. Recording the audio only, no visuals. The end result would be podcasts. (~100)
Obviously, a perfect world would have option 1 for all EclipseCon talks. However, given the cost of cameras, post production, etc., that's not going to happen. So, as the program committee, would you like to see many fewer recorded sessions with a video of the presenter or many more with just the slides/screen or even more than that just as podcasts ?
