With a voice or with text?

Voice or text does not matter as long as it's clear. Voice video is better for people who could speak well in front of a mic.

Should I make it into one large video or small videos of specific actions (Getting Started, Creating a Trade, Making a Purchase, Forums, etc.)

The video itself should not be that long anyway so I feel that one large video would be good (but not longer than 15 minutes in total.)

And thanks a lot for making a video tutorial.

Speaking as a user that the primary language isn't English, I vote for text (or a mix, with voice and text for the key points). At least for me, is easier to look on google a word or sentence that I don't know, than trying to figure out the correct writing of a word that I have heard :)

I will have English captions via the Youtube Captioning system, help with translations of alternate languages from the community would be very helpful for others too.

Sure! Once you finish the video, just give me the english script, and I can translate into brazilian portuguese (pt-br).

Yes, most of this is based off of the FAQ and I am probably going to literally read off of the FAQ and provide visual aids.

Well, since you will probably read the FAQ, and we're talking about translations, I just translated the first part of the FAQ for pt-br :D
Here is the link for the pdf: http://www.mediafire.com/file/0aw2ys8lda77x3p/dispenser[1].pdf

(The way the text is divided is simple: the parts in gray are the original text, and each text block is followed by its translation; and the words in blue are the parts corresponding to the original portions containing a link. Even if this text isn't going to be used right now, I think he can come in handy in the future)

Cool, thank you but I think that when I am done with the video and receive my NEW condenser microphone (my old one sucks) I will send over the entire transcript.

No, I already made keyframes for the animations of the stuff like the clicker I will just take new screenshots and swap them with the old one, it's a piece of cake.

Nice work, although I feel that the music is not that good for the video :D
As for this video, you should also mention the status message that appears at the bottom right corner of the screen which is useful for debugging purpose.

I will set this post sticky and I also have given you the contributor status as an appreciation of your help.
When the videos are finished they will be properly credited and will be put on somewhere easy to find on the website.
