Video hosting services
From SDA Knowledge Base
(originally posted on the forum by Lloyd1337)
Since I'm tired of having to deal with FileFront and RapidShare to download everyones videos, I've decided to make a list of some decent video hosting services.
All of the services on this list are FREE, but some of them have limits on the filesize or delete your video after a certain amount of time.
Thanks to S15_sLiDeR for finding the sites.

URL is the webpage URL of the file host.
Maximum Filesize/Time Limit is the maximum size and length of the file allowed to be uploaded.
Removal After is the length of time the hosting service will keep your video on their site. Some sites have no time limit, some delete your file after a certain amount of time, and some only delete it if it hasn't been viewed in a certain amount of time.
Requires Registration indicates whether you need to register for a free account on their site before you are allowed to upload videos.
Streaming indicates whether videos are provided in a streaming format (e.g. web player) or not. If the videos are not streamed, it means that they can only be accessed with a direct link, which is handy for verification purposes. An exception to this is FileFront, where you can choose wether or not your video should be streamed.
So you guys should have no problem finding a good place to host your videos.
