I think that's a great idea.  Get a couple, small screencasts right near the desktop on a LiveCD or whatnot.  Besides, these videos are pretty small.  What's a few megabytes between friends?

Quite a lot in a live cd atleast. You have to figure out which applications to remove.

Someone should be working on a minimal RPM set suitable as a base for single-function live images.

But I thought the idea is to put those few and small videos on the most used spin (Desktop Live CD?) to let the hordes of users know about our multimedia capabilities.

I agree with Nicu on this.  I think there's reason to justify something like 5-10 MB on a LiveCD to give a good intro to Fedora.  I did the cheese demo and it
was actually pretty hefty, but most of the ones that Paul did were no more than 5MB.  I suppose we'd be going right to the end of the CD and have to remove *one* thing. 
What if this was on the install DVD to start?  Maybe having Miro installed in the default LiveCD with the rss from the fedora channel preloaded?

Cheers,
