Sure, but legally it's completely clear who owns what.

Life is like that.  If the job hung on one unflattering video, it's
hard to say that a good match was missed.  And conversely:

Au contraire, many such conferences (especially those that bill
themselves as "job markets") would be happy with an outcome where the
student doesn't get a better chance than he deserves, i.e., beats out
somebody who is a much better presenter and otherwise roughly equal.

This isn't what TLUG is about, so we should definitely not rule out
speakers just because they're unwilling to be recorded, for whatever
reason.  The organizers certainly should ask, and if the person seems
uncertain, encourage them (ie, explain the advantages to TLUG).

A similar approach could be tried w.r.t. to "supporting materials",
but that would require more effort of both the organizers and the
presenters.
