Where are some excellent philosophy videos on the web?
Lectures, interviews, documentaries... anything. A good example of what I'm looking for is this Derrida interview.

There's a few insightful lectures at TED
Daniel Dennett, for example.

John Searle on the mind-body problem. (starts about 10 mins. in)
Yale philosophy course on death.
Bloggingheads often has a philosophy diavlog posted over the weekend, though they're decidedly for a general audience, not very philosophically rigorous. Will Wilkinson often does them (though not all his diavlogs are philosophical). Joshue Knobe is often on there talking about experimental philosophy (if you can call that philosophy).

EGS is a fantastic and expansive resource. Some of the lectures are quite advanced, but it's great if you lean to the continental side of philosophy.
The Mariborchan has tons of videos, but predominantly Slavoj Zizek - "Zizek!" is a documentary worth watching just because he is so entertaining to watch, if not for the theory.
This might be good to look through also.

Audio files at Philosophy Talk. It's a couple of philosophy profs at Stanford talking about all kinds of things -- it's a (not very widely syndicated) NPR show. They list episodes by topic.

The Center for Process Studies has a decent media library, most of it low-quality streaming audio. This is all philosophy of a certain school, i.e. in the vein of Alfred North Whitehead and Charles Hartshorne, but the files also include offshoots into other schools of philosophy (e.g. American Pragmatism), theology, and the social sciences.

You may want to check out The Discourse Notebook for videos by Zizek, Badiou, Kristeva, and others.

In Our Time is about the history of ideas and frequently covers philosophy. It features a group of academics discussing the subject but is aimed at a lay audience.
A bit more focused but: The Atheism Tapes is a series of interviews by Jonathan Miller as part of a BBC series. I mainly suggest it because it's a rare example of an interviewer actually interested in finding out what the subject thinks (rather than, say, berating them).
