I have posted some snowboarding videos in the past. Just to get a feel how different services work. Obviously site that lets the content rights owner (=me) make money is good. Another important thing is an open API to upload vids. In the long run with large number of files HTML forms or dedicated apps become cumbersome. Sites need to integrable to the video workflow. It is real important to be able to get an URL back so you can use the direct url on your own page to point to your files. Only service I have ran into that does all this is Revver. I had a look at the sandbox and I would most definately use the service if I could trust that the service is going to be around and I can count on getting my money back. Usage wise I think flash video is real problem. Internet video is going to hit the mainstream only if living room devices can be used. At the moment it seems that H.264 video encoding is doing strong on that field so a Quicktime-based video sharing site might kill it in the long run.
