I actually think Avid has a lot of video on their site, it's just a matter
of accessibility, I guess. For example, how do I quickly get to the product
information page of MC from the avid.com website? I used the search, because
all the other links just seemed confusing.
There's a nice site http://www.avid.com/mediacomposer4/ that has video and
everything a product site should have, but using the search on avid.com I
get to http://www.avid.com/products/Media-Composer-Software/index.asp
Maybe it's just me, but Avid has some great microsites, it's just a pain to
get to them (or I'm just too stupid).
Anyway, that's why I liked the idea of a podcast -- something that people
are used to and that is easily accessible via iTunes.
Bye,
Christian
