I've got a movie that I would like to put online if possible. The movie is about 25-30 minutes long. What are my options for doing this? Free or low cost would be nice.
I do have a domain hosted through GoDaddy, but I haven't converted the movie from DVD so I don't know the new file size. I also don't have the original file size handy right now. No idea on overall want or bandwidth requirements.

LOL youtube, youtube has limitations. You could make it a .mov thing where you click the link and it would play in windows media player, i don't know how this is done though sorry. :scare:

I'd absolutely go with Azureus VUZE - it's the new "legal" arm of Azureus - look into it. You don't have to worry about server load, or the file actually "being" anywhere - on the other hand, you have to worry about seeders, leechers, etc...

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I have to check on YouTube Directors account and Daily Motion(couldn't find any limitations).
Thanks for the suggestion of VUZE, but we've decided against it. The problem of seeders always be available is one thing and we want to be able to pull the video if we feel like it.

after you do the internet host flick you should try and hit up your local theatre, maybe one that specializes in indy flicks, I know one here in Tucson "The Loft" that my uncle has shown some of his skate videos for his shop. They usually will do it for free before a screening of a flick.
