Video offers little to legitimate contend but could be a field day for vandals. Say someone makes a six minute video outlining the history of a college. A vandal could make an edit burying a caption into the middle of the video saying the usual "Prof. Jones is gay" and enter a edit summary of some innocuous edit. When the vandal warriors, who like to do a high volume business, come upon it they are unlikely to watch the entire video. This kind of vandalism is likely to be more enduring the text vandalism. Also look forward to fleeing images of penises, labia piercing and goatse at the most inopportune of moments.
