There's always going to be someone awkward:

"But I was only interested in the last minute of 1, the first two minutes of 2 and the middle 4 minutes of 3! [6]"

That way you wouldn't need to split the video's up, just tag the time points and have it as a long video, unless the issue is upload time and such. Also even better than that when people are watching the video they can comment at the time point so that there is a context to the comment

(OK so I'm a Viddler.com fan!)

Oh, so someone's already done it? I had thought about this before, the ability to jump to a tag for the bits you're interested in, like 'Demo starts here' or 'Talking about feature XXX', etc.

Nice.

If I remember correctly the UK vista/office dev launch videos had this feature.

All the Channel 9 videos can be tagged like this, it just requires someone to do it with the Clipster feature.

Let the subject matter determine the length of the video.

If the subject matter is only worth ten minutes, do a ten minute video.

If the subject takes an hour, do an hour video.

Please do not split up a video just to have three ten minutes video, where one thirty minute video would do just fine.

Cool

Right. However, if someone is going to cut them up post them ALL at once. Whatever you do don't post ONE per day. This will gurantee you get less views of that video, and also less viewers in general on C9.
