Question: Where can I post video?

[jasno999]

I know of sites for posting pictures like webshots. And there are many others but I started wit hwebshots so I use it now. I might start using the place that Amazon runs or there is one other that I have used.

Anyway. I was wondering are there any websites where I can go and post up short videos that people can go and watch?

See I cana take 30 second movies or less of my fish and other animals which always coem out better cause you do nto have to deal wit hthe flash issue nor will movment affect it too much. Any ideas???

Are there any sites on the net that have no affiliation to say a fish website or somehting like that. I am lookign for a more generic site like webshots is to photos.

Hi jasno

(Assuming you're looking for "free" sites)

The reason you're hard-pressed to find a site that allows the uploading and display of video files is, of course, cost.

A 30-second movie is, what, around 3 MB in size? (maybe less but that figure's in the ballpark, I think). Let's say you upload ten of these brief videos. Suppose only a literal handful of people view each of these each day for a month. That's 4500 MB in transfer/bandwidth at the very least. You'd be fortunate to find a "free" site which allows even half that amount of bandwidth.

[EDIT] I just did a traceroute to photobucket.com. They use Cogent bandwidth, which is the very cheapest around (and not as bad as many IT folks make it out to be, IMHO); so even if you have to pay, I wouldn't think it'd cost but pennies a day (for the scenario above).
