Ah I made my own list weeks ago:

http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:44014


 * 1 - Oldtown - Almost certainly in the list, probably narrated by Samwell, about Oldtown.
 * 2 - House Tarly - A background on House Tarly video, narrated by either Samwell or Randyll.
 * 3 - House Mormont - Short background on House Mormont; although given in past seasons to an extent, this one will explain why they have such a long tradition of Warrior women due to raids from both ironborn and wildlings, why Lyanna Mormont is the way she is. Probably not a long video.
 * 4 - Vaes Dothrak/The Dosh Khaleen - I don't think these will be two videos - a with Season 5, I think they'd probably make one big video about Vaes Dothrak, and have a sub-section of it talking about the Dosh khaleen (who couldn't really sustain their own video).
 * 5 - Iron Islands - regional - we kind of already got a regional video in Season 2, but this is before we really started to get "regional" style videos in Season 4, pointing out who their major vassals are, etc. I think this would would describe the seven individual islands.  Moreover, unlike past ones, this would be going over a lot of background about the Kingsmoot, including info about past Kingsmoots from the World of Ice and Fire sourcebook.  They will almost assuredly have a video on this.
 * 6 - Euron Grejoy - a separate background video explaining Euron Greyjoy, his sordid background with his brothers, his participation in Robert's Rebellion and particularly the Greyjoy Rebellion, and then his exile and voyages across the far corners of The Known World. This would be great to show official artwork of seldom-seen places like the Summer Islands, Ib, Yi Ti and the Jade Sea, etc.
 * 7 - Origin of the Faceless Men - We kind of already had a video on the Faceless Men last year (which was purely descriptive and to be honest the most boring of last year's batch, introducing no new info). This year Jaqen brought up the story of how the first Faceless Man was a slave in the mines of Valyria, under the Fourteen Fires, and that's where the cult originated.  This would be worth making a video about, albeit a brief one.
 * 8 - Children of the Foreset and the White Walkers - while briefly discussed in the Season 1 Histories & Lore videos that was a long time ago and the audience needs a refresher, plus with new info. Explaining in more detail the Children of the Forest, the White Walkers, and what exactly the war was against the First Men that they were losing - the Wars of the First Men and the Children of the Forest.  Might be more than one video, unsure, but let's consider it one big one for now.
 * 9 - The Showdown at the Tower of Joy - Unsure of narrator. But something explaining who Arthur Dayne was, how Ned Stark was confused that they weren't present at the Battle of the Trident, etc.  Possibly narrated by Jaime Lannister given that he knew these men, and the short version of "Ned fought them at the Tower of Joy and they all died" is now public knowledge.  Also possibly Meera Reed - she's narrated a bit before, her father was involved, etc.

Other videos I'm less certain if they'll be included:


 * 10 - The Theaters of Braavos - a lot of other details about other theaters and other plays in Braavos were cut for time from the TV show, which do appear in the book 6 sample chapter. Might be worth a short video (explaining other stuff like how in Braavos it isn't considered unusual for stage plays to openly mock the Sealord, etc.
 * 11 - Dragon-taming lore - based on Tyrion's discussion about the dragons when he unchains Viserion and Rhaegal. We've heard about the Dragonpit before but just a short and more explicit video, pointing out that their size diminished, and also discussing and theorizing on just how intelligent dragons really are (I think they're nearly as intelligent as a person, but it's an alien intelligence as Martin said - they're like cats.  Just because the cat won't fetch a stick doesn't mean he doesn't understand how to, just that he doesn't want to.
 * 12 - The Red Priests, the Prince That Was Promised, and Resurrection - possibly all lumped into one video. The Lord of Light religion, something about it's clerical hierarchy (though I doubt Martin would tell them), also their belief in resurrection powers, and particularly, what "The Prince That Was Promised" was.

Outright shot in the dark speculation:


 * 13 - Hodor - Bran Stark, at some point before episode 5, discusses Hodor and everything he knew about him growing up - that is, from the perspective of episode 2 and also up to book 5. How he was just this stable boy who could only say "Hodor" and they never knew why, but he served their family for years and is a loyal friend.
 * 14 - Robert's Rebellion - Cersei Lannister's perspective - should have had this last year. Cersei explains how she thought she'd marry Rhaegar Targaryen but ended up betrothed to Robert Baratheon after he killed him. Don't see how this would fit in now though, better for Season 5.
 * 15 - The Crownlands - just to complete the set, I hope they do a final regional video on The Crownlands - not just King's Landing but the rest of it. If Lollys Stokeworth reappears with Bronn later this season it will stand a better chance of getting included.
 * 16 - Little birds - Who are Varys's Little birds and how are they recruited? A short video, due to appearing so prominently this season.
 * 17 - War of the Ninepenny Kings - the War of the Ninepenny Kings was probably the war that "Brother Ray" fought in, as did Septon Meribald. Good if they talk about that more, already mentioned last time around.
