Yeah,
I have a flickr account, but length is restricted to 90 secs.

Any personal recommendations?

Cheers,
Ken

Google Video is better because it is based on a wide screen format, and automatically displays the videos at a bigger screen size. It lets you load more than 10 minutes too. Great for people with fast broadband, a bit annoying for anyone else.

Thanks Monkeyfish, and for taking the time to post.

I tried photobucket and quite happy with the results.
Some other sites displayed other videos to view from other users, which were a little unsuitable for general sharing.


Ta,
Ken

Blip.tv, Brightcove, Dailymotion, Google, GUBA, IMEEM, JumpCut, Last.fm, Live Video, MetaCafe, MySpace, Revver, Sevenload, Spike TV, Veoh, Vimeo are the english speaking ones I use on scoopkorea.com

I haven't really tested them out for adult/mature content, AFAIK:

GUBA, Sevenload, myspace and SpikeTV can be fairly dodgy.

If you are embedding a video on your own website, there is sometimes an option on the providers website to 'hide videos from other users' (or something similar). Last time I checked, there was a problem embedding Google video into a web page. I don't think they allow it any more.

I have some videos on DailyMotion (which, on reflection, sounds like something to do with going to the toilet) and I'm fairly happy with it. It's easy enough to use and it doesn't display other people's videos on your page.

It does reduce the quality of the video, though. Do other sites do this as well?

Basically every site does that. Daily motion actually isn't as bad as some.

Blip.tv and Guba seem to good for quality AND size.
