Comparison of Video Hosting Sites

I wanted to share a KOTH game on The Pit with couple of friends where we blocked the opposing team for the last 2 points and staged an impossible win. So I put it on google video, which is where I normally put my videos but the quality was so low that one cannot read the score in the right bottom to actually understand how close the game was. Forcing me to venture off to find a better service and here are my findings:

Click here if the video doesnt work or doesn't play in your browser.

You Tube: 1GB or 10 Min Limit, Slightly better quality, good privacy options like googlevideo, some extra options for the creator.

Click here if the video doesnt work or doesn't play in your browser.

GeeVee.com: 300MB Limit, a little bit better quality than youtube, but they have some kind of technology that interlaces the image where high movement is happening, so you'll notice a blurring when you do a fast turn. They also don't have any privacy options, add to that every video has a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" feature and it shows that everywhere you posted the video, this is something that I didn't like. Also there is no "My Videos" page where you can quickly see your videos to find the links.

Click here if the video doesnt work or doesn't play in your browser.

PhotoBucket.com: 100MB Limit, Strange Errors, wouldn't upload my video at all.

Gametrailers.com: 200MB Limit(i think), best quality I've found so far, no privacy options. It failed to load my 145MB video but worked fine with another smaller one. So I used Windows Media Encoder to convert my mpg video to wmv, which ended up being much smaller size and uploaded fine.

Click here if the video doesnt work or doesn't play in your browser.

Gamevideos.com: These guys also let users upload their videos just like gametrailers but i didn't try it because I didn't like their video player that much.

Final Verdict: When quality matters, I'll go with gametrailers. Otherwise, I'll go with youtube or googlevideo.
