Where to post/upload a video...

[Citrus]

I just finished editing my movie and it's tad big...It's 1.6GB and 11 or so minutes long. And I was going to upload it to youtube and vimeo after I have time to cut it down to two parts maybe three...But I wanted to have the movie up in one piece somewhere.

So does anyone know a place where I can post it in it's entirety?

well youtube or vimeo but then you gotta do it over a number of weeks about 3 weeks but i would say idk you might want to make your own site and upload it as wmv file so it ill open in another window but really i dont know

my friend uses googe video Google Video (http://video.google.com/) for large videos
you would have to use the desktop uploader https://www.google.com/video/upload/UploadInfo?hl=en

I believe Vimeo will let you

I believe Vimeo will let you
I've got a limit of 500 MB a week.

[Vaughn Whynot]

I believe Vimeo will let you
"The only limit is 500 MB per week, which resets on the day you originally signed up for Vimeo." to quote them

I'm gonna try Vaughn's suggestion and see how it goes. Thanks everybody! I'll come back after I know it works or not.

Render to mpg4. It might be crappy quality, but you should be able to put it up all in one piece. I posted a 16 min video on myspace by rendering to mpg4.

I would render it to a smaller amount.

Even if it's an hour an a half long, even if you put it down to DVD size it shouldn't be more than 600 or 700 MB.

I would just get it down to about 320, and as long as you make it really high quality, it shouldn't be too bad.

If you want, you could zip it, and put it up on rapidshare so you can send it to friends and stuff so they can download it.

I was going to upload my movie, "Paint Drying: The Movie" to some bittorrent trackers.

I recommend blip.tv (http://blip.tv).
It'll let you put up a flash version that can be streamed as well as the video file itself.
Each of our podcasts goes up in FLV, low-res Xvid, high-res Xvid and high-res Ogg Theora. It's free. I've put up videos on my personal BlipTV page that are over an hour long.

blip sucks
i got nothing but hassle and problems with the customer service and the site it self
but thats just my opinion

[Citrus]

Well...Google video didn't work out too well...It made the video incredibly fuzzy and it was shortened to 2:30. Like a whole 9 minutes gone!

Anyone else have any ideas?

I've never had any trouble with it. Customer service? What would you need that for?

[Vaughn Whynot]

they delete my account because they said i stole people videos
which was my own video....

[Citrus]

Ok, I figured it out. I called my uncle because he went to college for new media and knows about this kind of stuff. He told me to change the format to .mov then make a few more changes. It went from 1.6GB to 405MB. Now while I can't post it on youtube I can still post it on vimeo! And the quality didn't really suffer as much as I thought.

I posted a tutorial a few days ago on how to compress video without losing quality. (http://forum.indymogul.com/showthread.php?t=9758)

This can bring your video down to about 300 MB without any quality loss.

Wow, thanks! I wish I would have seen that earlier lol. I'll check into that more when I've got more time.

Youtube now lets you upload a GB.

I know! That is really awesome but even so they didn't up the time limit. My video is 11:26, 1:26 over! I think that's kinda stupid...

[Flamekebab]

Yeah, it's one of the reasons our podcast is strictly limited to 9mins 58 seconds, a limit we've hit before.
