Well I got an email from the Journal of Visualized Experiment (JoVE). Here's the key pitch:
JoVE is a new open-source publication that allows free access to the latest biological research and experimental techniques in video format.
Video-articles published in the second issue include a variety of complex experimental approaches ranging from stem cell transplantation to behavioral studies in Drosophila. These include experiments from the leading stem cell laboratories.
Included in it's second issue is a video entitled Studying aggression in Drosophila (fruit flies) where you'll learn how to setup fly fights. Now that is a neat assay. Check out JoVE's website for more interesting videos.

Big FriendFeed chatter on the interwebs yesterday about JoVE "moving" to a closed access model.
Moshe Pritsker and I first met at Scifoo, then shared a panel at the Harvard Millennium Confreence and finally met again at the Science Blogging Conference two weeks ago.
The Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) is a pioneering open access online journal devoted to the publication of peer-reviewed biological research in video format.
