Same idea as the (56k) warnings. I don't know about anyone else, but I have dial-up and I hate opening a thread only to find out it's a video that will take hours to dl.

I doubt people would use it for the simple fact that you don't have to click the link that's in the thread.

Doesn't really make much sense since the video has to be hosted on an external site anyway, requiring an extra click. Whereas with images if you click on the thread they start loading.

However, as per the eye-candy rules videos are supposed to have file size noted.

you both make excellent points.

I didn't think of the obvious reasons this idea is dumb.
