If you like that kind of thing, both the Business of Software conference and MicroConf put a lot of their videos on line.

Personally, I can't stand videos. Way too slow, impossible to scan, and generally an inconvenient way of absorbing information.

Agreed, which is why I prefer http://mixergy.com, it's audio only, easy to listen in the background, and it has a full transcript for quick scanning.
Transcripts are great, but audio suffers from the same problems as video. If you're listening to it in the background, you aren't really listening to it. Try, for instance, listening to your "significant other" in the background while you stare at the screen and then attempt to gauge their opinion of your listening!
