I recently asked the folks at Sunday Night Church (via email) their preferences for accessing sermons online.
The results were un-surprising:
Format
Six options were given. 90% (9 people – yes, it was a small non-scientific survey) wanted to download audio, some of these people wanted to also read the text online. One wanted video with subtitles for accessibility reasons. Options that didn’t get a vote were streaming audio and obtaining a CD(Compact Disc) copy. There was an option of “None, heard it once, that’s enough” – no votes, were people just being nice?
Media Player
As the graph shows, Windows Media Player is #1, followed by iTunes, and Quicktime, Real Player and Winamp together in 3rd.
Podcasting
The final question asked about Podcasting. Most people ticked the “I have no idea what you are talking about you geek” option.

As long as you kept the audience out of the video, and the preacher agrees to be videoed, then it wouldn’t be a problem.
Technically subtitles on video are not difficult either, particularly as our preachers script their sermons. However, it does require someone to time code the script to sync with the video.
Skills for Access has lots of good info about making multimedia accessible.
Would videoing the sermon would raise privacy issues?
