Online video hosting for PH video

[kiwifraser]

Where is the best place to host an online video. It's 1.3Gb and 7 minutes long. I want it only accessible through a link, so not available to anyone searching randomly on the net.

1.3GB and only 7 mins, even at HD quality thats over sized, you'll want to encode that to a smaller file format (this doesn't mean loosing quality) as to try and stream that current file in real-time over the net you would need atleast a 31Mbps connection (excuse my math) which rules out 80% of the uk visitors.

Once its encoded you can submit it here:

I have saving options to:
1 - reduce image size (currently 1280x720)
2 - reduce frame rate (currently 30 frames)
3 - reduce image quality (currently high)
4 - reduce audio (currently 16bit, 22khz)

Do I reduce all of these to make it for suitable online viewing, or just some?

Originally recorded in 720p HD, so that is where the huge size came from I guess

Try putting it through Streamclip:

Wonderful little thing with loads of easy settings.
Perhaps try it as an mp4 with the H.264 codec - and a smaller file size (pixel wise) too??
