Okay quick question for some of you more expeienced web guys out here, I got a buddy that has a 20meg video that he would like to have hosted some were on the net that dosn't have bandwidth restriction and possible free.
I never delt wiuth files of this size or videos, so is this possible or is he better off building a websever and puttign it on his broadband connection.

Seems to do the trick from what I hear.

Thanks Corey for the info the problem is they limit video size to 10meg and his is 20megs ( he had his camcorber on his motorcycle as he ran through the Blue Ridge Parkway) but I do like them allowing you to directly link from a forum, so I will definately keep this site of my list of cool site for things. I did do some searching this evening and ran across another place that allows for 60meg but they don't allow direct linking but still worth it for free.
http://savefile.com/ just in case it may come in handy for someone else.

you could try this!
its a free file sharing website that lets you upload to their host and people are able to download it from that site. although they are limited to about 20 dl or about a week on their site. after that they will delete it from their system.

Another thing WT.
What format is the file in now?

You can use XP's Movie Maker 2 to compress a video smaller, and also turn it into the WMV (Windows Media Video) format.

WT

He already got it as a WMV now thats what he used to put it all together.. well we will see how it goes I sent him some links to try now. I guess maybe the best thing to do is set up a old PC got a few hanging around as a web server that fix these small problems.

when you get it all sorted, post a link in th OT section. I am sure a few people would like to see it.

WT

Will do ...
Okay just out of curiosity any one here suggest a free easy to setup and use web server software package ??

WT

Okay was doing some reading online last night and found out if you have XP Pro I could do my own web server so here the link its should work till I take the server offline.

Oh yeah the files are huge 20meg each so instead of streaming you may want to right click and do a save as and out it on your local HD temporarly to view it may be smoother that way too. Now I need to learn how to use front page or something
Enjoy ...
