Two things: A: thanks for pointing out TestDrive. Last time I tried it 
it only worked with KVM and was full of problems.  Looks like it works 
with VirtualBox now, which is my preferred virtualization platform for 
desktop systems.  YAY! I'll have to give TestDrive a shot again :)

More importantly, as Fabio says, speak more slowly.  I do voiceovers 
from time to time, and one thing I find that helps is to work on 
enunciation drills before I start recording a voiceover.  Slow down a 
bit, and remember to enunciate more clearly.  I am a native speaker (but 
have hearing damage) and I had trouble understanding some words here and 
there.

Another suggestion, you may want to break that down into separate 
videos, and if you're going to host them on YouTube or something, put 
them in a playlist.  Most people dont have attention spans to watch a 
nearly 30 minute YouTube video.

Also, the content may be more useful to more people broken down if they 
can easily access the parts they really need... for example, some may 
not care about the test part, but be interested in getting/using TestDrive.

Others may not care about TestDrive, but may want a walkthough of doing 
actual ISO testing.

Anyway, it's a good video, what did you use for the desktop capture?

Cheers,

Jeff
