Greetings

I currently use smugmug.com for my still and video image files. I like the ease of use of smugmug.com a LOT ........................ but they only support video files up to 8 MB file in size.

I want to "share" mpeg-1 files up to around 100 MB with friends.

Can you good folks recommend an image hosting service that is simple and easy to use AND will support images up to 100 MB. I want a professional service........... not a free or cheapy host where I have to be a web dweeb to figure stuff out. smugmug is great in this respect.

Thanks a lot

the real source of your problems is the mpeg-1 format... it's very very inefficient, because it was never designed for web use... you'll save a ton of bandwith, and get better quality, with a modern codec.
