Video Hosting Services? Any experience?

[DemonLlama]

Anyone have any familiarity with video hosting services? I've created my first video montage of WDW at Christmas in wmv format but, at 145 MB and 12 minutes, it is way too big for any of the free hosting services.

What service do you recommend and what does it cost?

Thanks!

Sigh. Anyone???

Thanks oogie, but isn't this in the "send only" stage right now? If I sent it in, I couldn't share it with anyone or have a link right now, correct?

from their FAQ:
For now, Google Video will only make your video available to users if you elected not to charge a price for users to play your video.

so you can upload it, they'll host it, and you can share it immediately on your website.

ah, I see. Thanks!

I read through the FAQ and now I'm unsure about the use of songs with the video. I used some of the Disney CDs we own and a Christmas song (White Christmas), but if I share it, is that a violation of copyright?

I would go with my own web host. Then you can host it privately without having Google dictating terms of service. There are many reasonable hosts out there. I like ipowerweb.com. $7.95 monthly hosting with 3000 mb and 50 gig transfer. Great customer service as well.
