If you can figure out what a person is trying to convey without understanding what they're saying, then why is commentary necessary to begin with? A video should generally only be necessary where text and still images fall short, making commentary superfluous. I agree that there may be certain circumstances where added commentary can provide some aid, so maybe something like this could work:


 * Commentary or narration should be avoided if the subject of the video can be conveyed through demonstration alone. If commentary is warranted, it must be concise and relevant to the content of the video.
