Online videos

[drewan]

While my Mac is busy importing the seven AppleCon DV tapes, on my other computer I'm search the web to find an alternative to YouTube for posting the AppleCon videos.

I want to find a free service that allows me to post large videos, to take more advantage of the HD source material. One of the things I really like on YouTube is that it's easy to embed the video on other websites and blogs, so I'd like the alternate service to had the same ability.

I could just convert the videos to FLV files on post them on our own server, but I'd prefer for someone else's server to take the bandwidth hit.

I didn't realize you tube cost money, how much?

YouTube doesn't cost money. The problem with YouTube is that they re-compress video that's posted to their site, and it often ends up looking horrible. I want to see if we can find a better video hosting service.

And maybe we can *also* post them to YouTube.

It also must be embedable in the website to be useful.

Yep... that's first on my list.

If your web host has the space and bandwidth, just put it on your own site (or some site that will let you do it). It's easy to make the movie in iMovie, and (though I haven't done this) probably easy to embed the movie in iWeb. Heck, you could make a podcast in GarageBand, though that would be aac.
