If yes, could the tools and process be made painless? good idea for a project and I think it could be possible. There are a number of tools to us Linux geeks which can result in video for uploading to various video sights and I just saw a presentation on a local company who sells online disk storage who also provides transcoding if one is inclined to go the self-hosting route for the screen casts. It has all the markings of a good project in that it requires a hardware configuration for the capturing, editing, transcoding, documentation and training on use of such a system and all the software to do this is readily available in OSS.
