If you already have the home page, why don't you just embed a Quicktime file into it? Or use the Flash Video encoder if you want to have the same look/feel as YouTube, only use higher settings for quality.

Also do two sizes, like a thumb nail. That is my two cents.

i dont want to do that coz thtll send my hosting up quite a bit. which is why i wanted to use something third party embeddable.

I dont konw how it was uploaded, but when i searched for high quality video I found that..so I think it's possible to have high quality vids on youtube itself..

Have you tried uploading there or are you going by the looks of most of the videos? Last time I was helping my sister get stuff on there the limitations were by minutes OR file size. If it's a shorter file, perhaps that gives you room to spend those leftover meg on quality.

If sign up for a Director Account (which I happen to have) you can have unlimited file sizes and minutes.

James :cool:

tho ironically the dingleberries at 'tube WILL NOT answer why they will not accept flashmovies as an acceptable upload file while they compress/alter everything for a flash player.

DUMB-ASSES.

and yes, I have e-mailed them about this THREE times and they never answer, just send a link to "currently accepted file types".

Andreas does the photoshop posters for Paramount, gets $700 per day at 7 hours plus an hour off for lunch.

You do the math as to which is a better deal.[/I]

Well, they may have some code that sniffs for pseudonyms, and it looks like you've left a required field blank. Beyond that, who knows...

Ahh. I get it.

Who's your host? Places like midPhase and 1&1 have very cheap deals with good support and tech service and it's almost ridiculous the storage and bandwidth that come with them.

Then again I don't know what sort of traffic you intend to pull.

Revver.com lets up upload and playback videos in Quicktime .mov format instead of just .flv .
