I can live with fixed quality, also two years later I don't need a
higher quality. For me important is that the videos are available
relatively soon. This increase the impact a talk can have in the community.

Nobody is interested at a talk that is an half year old.

I learn in the OpenStreetMap community the way to make this possible for
conferences[1]. The video are available 1-3 days after the presentation.
The solution is to cut the video from the presenter and the slides
during the talk and compress everything in real time. So it's possible
to do this for volunteers.

I hope we will have such a system next year, this would increase the
impact of the whole Wikimania. If it cost money to have a system for so
many tracks, I'm sure that it's a good investment for the project.

I'm wondering who will dedicate 10+Gig of his data plan to watch an hour
video of Wikimania in HDV.

No one, since Commons downscales it automatically (no matter what size
you upload in).
If the end user needs a SD quality of video, why use HDV to record? I'm
sure HDV isn't used because its the latest technology or something of
that sort.

It's standard procedure to record in higher quality than viewers will
watch in. Among other things, it provides editing flexibility, and
allows archiving the high quality content (whether at Archive.org,
Commons (depending on size), or somewhere else. Then later, if file
size limits change, or people want higher quality (e.g. for a BluRay or
something), you can remaster from a high quality recording.
