Here is an interesting site I found called videolecture.net. It has a number of academic videos, sort of like academic channels (e.g. UC Berkeley channel) on YouTube, but this site has academic videos from many institutions and individuals. Also, it seems to have partnered with conferences (e.g., NIPS) and university programs (e.g., OpenCourseWare from MIT) to put together many many academic lectures on-line. Like YouTube, this site seems to let users post their own videos. I am not sure how (and whether) they verify the (academic) quality of the videos. Here is one of the shortest videos I could find so that you can have a taste.

I also found that web site very useful, especially for someone who
never studies machine learning but wants to study it carefully. The web site contains many good lectures by, I guess, top machine learning people. Those lectures often gave me good intuitions behind various learning algorithms, which I could not see in textbooks.
Another useful web site for academic videos is:
http://www.msri.org/communications/vmath/VMathVideos/
This site contains several math lectures. For instance, you can find
lectures by Fields Medalists, like Terrence Tao.
