It reminds me of scanner software that always wants me to describe what I'm scanning, rather than simply asking me what kind of output I want of the scanner. I always have to guess at which description will give me the output I want. Maybe it is a photo that I'm scanning, but I want it to scan to a PDF? In this case I would need to choose "Document" instead of "Photo", to fool it into giving me a PDF instead of JPG. I'd prefer to be asked directly what I want the scanner to do. In the case of an admin uploading videos, I think they would prefer the same.
This is a verry good example how (wrong) "making things easy" leeds to more thinking on the user side, thanks for sharing this!
