Where are you parking your videos so that they can appear on your website or here on Biznik?

YouTube is an obvious spot, free and easy to embed. However, I'm not thrilled with the YouTube logo planted on the video nor the proximity of "Related and Featured Videos" such as "RIHANNA NAKED PICS LEAKED TOO?!?"

Vimeo is pretty, but I'm wondering about the interpretation of their statement, "Vimeo is for personal, noncommercial use only. If your intent is to use Vimeo as a hosting service for your business, or promoting a product or service, then you are not allowed to use Vimeo." Seems to rule me out.

Viddler for business is $100/month or more, which might be fair, but it's steep for my budget.

There is Flickr for videos that are 90 seconds or shorter, but my bits are more than that.

Jumpcut is closing down as of June 15, 2009.

Facebook videos are limited to two minutes (and the one I have at hand is 3+).

Any suggestions or comments? Thanks.

    We use screencast for our clients. It's not free, but it is very reasonable. This service allows you to customize the playback screen for individual clients or embed clips in other web sites. You can also make content private or public. It's kind of like your own personal YouTube. It runs off streaming media servers designed for streaming video and Flash over the web, unlike standard web servers.

    Tim,

    screencast looks pretty darn perfect for my needs. It even looks like it can do some of the audio hosting that I've been seeking.

    I am going to check it out in more depth; if all goes well, you'll see me there soon :)

    Hi Tim! You inspired me to create a free account with screencast, so thank you. A great way to try it out AND get their tips along the way.

    Thank you!
