Of course there is Youtube... but quality stinks. I love Vimeo, but the upload process takes FOREVER. I used to love VideoEgg, but they killed the consumer part.

Where should I go?!

I think Vimeo is still the best if you want quality without having to host it yourself. The delay in uploading only happened recently. I imagine it will go away soon, but it is pretty horrible at the moment.

I've never used blip.tv to host video, but I like their flash player and the videos there seem to be much higher quality than youtube.

Edit: nevermind, they put annoying ads in your video. Best to stick with vimeo I guess.

Ads are uploader-controllable. Almost every feature in blip.tv is optional and that's what I love about it. Far more featureful than Vimeo or anything else I've seen.

Vimeo, as you said, while disregarding the upload... Or try Viddler, perhaps.

Too bad Brightcove.tv closed down :(

Kind of the same question as the original but what about for videos that promote a product/etc? At work, I shoot and edit a lot of videos (A new one each month or so) on products we carry. Right now, we have them all on YouTube but the quality DOES shrink down a lot

I looked into Vimeo but they do not allow videos that promote a product (basically an ad). Anything with the quality and easability of Vimeo out there without that restriction?

If you are willing to go paid, take a look at http://lightcastmedia.com.

Are there any video sites with native support for AVCHD? Both Yahoo Video and Youtube require me to convert my videos to MPEG first, which wastes a lot of time and reduces the quality.

if you're looking for quality, there's http://www.fixmymovie.com

has HD, can deliver everywhere, is fast. we're investors so this is shameless plug but it really is the best video site that no one knows about (except it's tens of millions of users each month).

ooyala.com has this great product called Backlot. I love how they let you scroll through the video and the quality is pretty good.
