I'd say this is the best because it allows a clear say from both sides. IF you were to mathmatically combine them then you could get into a series of arguments of flaws as to weight that means different results could entirely occur by the meer virtue of hte arbitrary percentages to each side.

You also have to remember that no matter how voting is set up - by audience members, by judges, by both, by a pack of wild hyenas - nothing, absolutely nothing is going to guarantee that your video, personally, is going to win in any configuration.

"Fair" does not mean "my video wins" or "the video that I think should win did win." The only "fair" that applies is for every voter to vote only once and for all votes to be counted. It's a matter of opinion. Lots of people don't fully understand what that means.
