[Sidebar: A Word of Caution]

There are many Web hosting services and dedicated third-party video servers out there to choose from, but don't be fooled by free or low cost offers. While they might seem like an attractive option, you often get what you pay for. Many of those services don't supply enough space or adequate support for the uploading or downloading of video files. Also, be sure to review any ISP's refund policy. If you haven't done your homework and subsequently sign up with a provider that can't support your needs, you could be in for a lot of hassle and a lighter wallet!

[Sidebar: Size Matters]

Many of these file formats don't play at 30fps, but when you consider the final viewing medium, a frame rate of 15fps, or even 6fps, is often acceptable. Since there are so many options, for the sake of argument it should be known that the two most common sizes for streaming video are 320 x 240 pixels at 30 fps or 160 x 120 at 15 fps. The latter is usually the best choice for dial-up connections.
