We've been using SmugMug for about a year exclusively to share videos about personal growth. The site looks great and isn't always easy to use. SmugMug has just raised its prices, so we're looking around to make sure it's still our best choice. We're willing to pay to exclude ads and to keep the visitor from jumping to whatever fun clip is currently going viral, so we're not fond of YouTube. We're planning to start offering online classes on Moodle using how-to videos. From what I see of comments on Moodle, the format that works best is FLV for Flash but then Mac users need a workaround, so linking to another site that's cross-platform seems a better idea. We'd like to create somewhat longer videos, but SmugMug's upload size limit is 3 GB, which means nothing very long unless we don't use high-def. I haven't seen another site that allows longer and still offers privacy. The chief competitors seem to be Flickr (which has a limit of only 90 seconds), Metacafe (which has a limit of 10 minutes) and sites that are really for shorter, funny clips alongside ads, which wouldn't work well for us. Thoughts?
