Rouxbe

It's a recipe video service, they give out the first 30 days of access free. Overall I give it very high marks, here's how it breaks down pro/con style:
Things I like about it:
- Clean open feeling interface
- Recipes are clear, close-up, with good audio
- Video is broken into steps
- Steps can have "drill downs" for more info (e.g. "how to select a mango")
- You can view the text for any step, or go to full print-view.
- Music is separate track that can be turned down or muted
- No "talking heads"
- Each recipe has a preview when you're browsing
- Commenting available or each, which has the potential to be very helpful
Could be better:
- The name is weird and annoying (roxbe, rewbie, rowexbe?)
- It's nice not having obnoxious personalities involved, but seems maybe a little dry
- One should be able to embed a teaser for any recipe into my *whatever* blog
- "Profile" is kinda useless
- Are people pronouncing stuff wrong, or is it me?
- Limited sorting features for recipe browsing
