It's so great to be hearing more about studies that show improvements in learning outcomes! I hadn't seen the work that Mike refers to, and I'm so excited to get Chris' paper. (This kind of work, in conjunction with the studies such as Stuart references are what will help "make the case" in many settings.)
As an aside, I recently came across a slightly older (2007) white paper from CMU on Lecture Webcasting <http://www.cmu.edu/teaching/technology/whitepapers/LectureWebcasting_Jan07.pdf> that summarizes a number of past studies, most that concern student and instructor perception of value. It's probably not going to teach any of us on this list much, and it leaves out plenty of research, but it's the kind of thing--relatively short, nicely laid-out--that's useful to pass on to instructors who are curious about the value of lecture recording for students and instructors.
