Please remember that this person is trying to sell related product. I think it unreasonable to expect a scientific poll with rational and logical conclusions. 
It strikes me as a rather surreptitious way of advertising here.

I was offering the benefit of the doubt, against my initial judgement.

It's clear that idosius is a vendor. He's certainly not hiding that fact.
I was hoping that his questions were a real attempt to get feedback and gauge interest in particular features, and thereby make a better product.
If I were a vendor, that's what I'd strive to do.
And if I were a vendor trying to build a product targeted at the kind of people who frequent SQAForums, I'd certainly try to avoid insulting them.

It seems that with the previous post, everyone, (well, most everyone), was fair with him and his flashy product.

I would have thought that that thread would have been enough to encourage changes to the application, but it seems not.
If nothing else, he is persistant.

I can see that video recordings of tests and bugs could be useful for some people, but not for me - GUI is a pretty small portion of what I do. I'm almost always working with phone calls and the protocols that support them.

I would call it hype. However, a tool that I think could be useful is something that is recording your testing in the background and will hold a short clip (say 1 minute) of footage of your last 1 minute of testing. Then if you get somewhere and you're not exactly sure what you did to get at that value you could save the video and refer to it if you needed to. However, setting up video for every test in anticipation of it failing might be a bit cumbersome.

Do you use video recordings of tests and bugs? If not, why?
No. I used it long back using SnagIt but could not see any value addition to text and images. Also, the video clipping is usually bigger in size. Does not make any sense to me.

Would you like to start recording tests and bugs?
Probably not. I could only see the point of using video when something was changing so quickly on GUI that we were unable to capture it in an image as a screenshot. Video worked that time.

Could something be changed about test/bug video recording so that you would start using it?
Only if few more cases like one I mentioned above appear, i may use video recording, otherwise no.
It looks more like a hype to me.
