I recently discovered how to easily record YouTube Dominion using Quicktime.
I made a YouTube video of a game with two IRL friends (well, one friend Polk5440, and one wife Bella Cullen). I haven't watched all of the videos on YouTube that have Dominion in them, but I think this format is fairly unique. In a 3P game, we can all hear each other, and all comment on the game. Thus, I talk less freely (and more strategically) about my strategy than the typical YouTube video.*

As for strategy, it's a Colony game with Wharf and Farming Village. Remodel and Quarry are important too. At some point in the game's early stages, I reveal why I am not a top player by debating internally between Quarry and Cutpurse. Quarry is the right play, and I go for it, but I didn't really reason it through like I should have. Remodel turns out to be the difference in this game, I think.
Thoughts?
FWIW: I didn't realize how forcefully I laugh until recording this. I'll try to be less abrasive on your eardrums in the future.

*I have tested out recording in other contexts, but I don't have a critical mass on my channel yet. This is my favorite recording so far -- a game where Mic Qsenoch runs me over on the Highway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOPiFYSV2OU

A lot of my videos where I'm skypeing with my opponent are similar to the format you use here, though I liberally use the mute button on Skype so I can say things to my video that my opponents can't here. I've done some three-player games like this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK9B_FS5jz8) and a whole bunch of two-player games like these (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHV1uVDYN5Y_SqB9YX6MoW01ykXI6BPU_)
I think the ability to do this makes the videos more interesting to watch. Also, you can make split-screen videos (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHV1uVDYN5Y9Tef8mh16LJ-70OxkJ-uJO) where both players have the ability to talk to the video and merging both sides into one.
Is there a particular part of this format you want to explore? I noticed you posted in my looking for opponents thread too. I'm always up to try different formats.

I haven't spent much time in this subforum, and after posting my experiment, I browsed a little and discovered that you've done some Skyping-and-Dominioning. Not sure I'd do Skype (needing to track the mute button might be just a little too much complexity for now; I'll maybe work up to it). I like the idea of each of us recording, and posting dueling videos of the same game. Depending on how hard it is to do the split screen, I might be up for that, but using Quicktime is the easiest way to screencast I could ever imagine.

In the OP of the other thread (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=9116.msg279552#msg279552) I talk about what's needed to do a split-screen video with me. If you record in a format I can read (lots of them) then I'll do the editing. The only tricky part is making sure you record the right audio but the details are over there so I won't re-post them.
There are two types of video formats in the split-screen playlist. The real split-screen stuff starts at video 14, just in case you had missed that.

I don't think that we learn so much by watching a 3p-game, where you can't speek freely, because the others hear you.
But it was so much fun to watch! You're a nice little group, which has fun while playing. That jumps over to us.
