Hello all,

it seems like anyone who wants to put a video online uploads to YouTube. Have any of you found a better venue for your particular genre?

For high quality vimeo.com is the best choice you can test with FREE account but if you pay $60 per year to open an account is better. Another choice is DailyMotion. Read the documentationfor vimeo you can find many advantages like change and delete video file anytime.

Dox, I have set up Amazon S3 to host videos for a completely proprietary solution (No ads, commercials, copyright notices, etc). It takes a little effort to figure out how to set it up, but I ended up with 25gigs of free hosting. I then embeded a free player on my own web site. Great way to manage video hosting on a budget.

In addition to Vimeo, Dailymotion and Amazon S3, there are:

1) Metacafe, pays a couple of bucks per thousand views:http://www.metacafe.com/

2) If you have a web series and want to make some advertising revenue, blip.tv is great: http://blip.tv/

I recommend this video from Chris Were comparing the various video hosting services: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xqx4fs_youtube-vs-blip-tv-vs-dailymotion-vs-metacafe-vs-vimeo_webcam

I used to use YouTube for my daily Vlogg videos, but in early march of 2012, google screwed YouTube up, many of left, it was that bad. I use Facebook for a couple months, then I found ZippCast.com 20,000 of us, going strong now.
