The Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis has provided four complete series of hour long video lectures online using RealPlayer (either 56k or broadband): Computer Science (Visual Basic Programming 25 parts), English (Children’s Literature 21 parts), Geology (Indiana Geology 25 parts) and Health (Personal Health 15 parts). Another 15 lectures on Shakespeare are on the site, but are only available to registered students. The lectures never really stray from the usual format of simply recording the teacher standing and speaking for the whole time and no ancillary material is available from the site, which is otherwise admirably uncluttered and easy to use.
ScienceLive is an initiative delivering popular science video (discussions, lectures, interviews) to online users. It is an initiative between Cambridge University Science Productions, the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Cambridge Science Festival. The video archive is divided into Movies, Lectures and Interviews, and includes titles such as A Beginner’s Guide to Geological Time, Bending it Like Beckham, and Mathematics, Magic, and the Electric Guitar. All video content is streamed, using Real Player. This site is no longer active, but the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine offers a capture of the website as it appeared on 01/07/2007. This does not include access to the moving images.

There are also video clips (in QuickTime and MPEG formats), complete audio lectures (using RealAudio), complete video lectures by Harry Kroto, and a useful set of links to science video and related sources.
