Personally I find these to be a real pain, since watching the video is usually way, way longer than it takes me to read a traditional text/picture battle report, requires me to be in a location where I can listen to audio/turn off my music, etc. Do other people like video battle reports? Am I just a grump? Please answer the poll to give me a better idea on this matter, and feel free to post your thoughts if you have any particularly interesting ideas or concerns that you think might be relevant. I'm just trying to gauge what the Internet thinks on this matter.
Most of them are poorly filmed and lack editing.
If you have multiple cameras and editing software and take the time to put together a coherent vid, yeah they could be good with the right post-production. but most are a shakey handed attempt on the fly by a guy trying to play at the same time.
They are sort of the "lazy man's batrep" most of the time, and I rarely watch them.
