Best Web Hosting for Video Files?
I’ve been using Vegas for a while and now I would like post my results on my own web page. I don’t really have any web skills. Does anyone have experience with this? What is the best output video format? Any recommendations of companies (hopefully very cheap) to go with? IE companies that host the page and provide tools? I don’t need hours of video just a couple of 3-4 minutes of video on the web page.
Many thanks,
Jonathan -

Try godaddy.com – 39 bucks a year. The best video for the web is Windows Media in my opinion.

Almost any web host will provide enough space for small movie files. Your choice of a host will depend in part on whether you want to “stream” the movies or have people download the files to their computers and then play them.
I chose to do the latter, and have two short downloadable movies here if you want to see how they work:

I made them Vegas and rendered as .wmv files.

Free alternatives include google video and putfile.com

Your link doesn’t work. Get a page not found error. Tried both copy/pasting the link and clicking it. No video.

As of today, Google is streaming videos that I placed in a much larger window – it appears to be the size that I used when I compressed it using XVID. The image quality also is improved, but a longer wait for buffering is required. You can see a sample that I made at https://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5935564971828404588&q=inspector

Mpegnation has a good quality service that will post a streaming video up to an hour in length for 4.95 for 6 months. They convert your video and provide a link. It runs on their servers but you don’t leave your website or email where the link is located.

I personally use Goldpuma to host my website containing videos. I use rapidshare to host some of my big files over 50 megs.
This web host is cheap and reliable.
