Let us know how it goes. I guess my top contenders are still blip.tv and revver, and not for the ad capability -- I like the players they're using, in terms of features / quality. Plus hosted service of course solves bandwidth problems. Would be curious to hear what people think of these. But yeah, Justin, I hear you for stuff that's likely to be low-bandwidth. I'd still look at Flash, though, if you have a copy -- still lots of control over encoding, but a lot easier to deal with player-wise. I have some videos to upload, so I may just try some of the top services, especially if I get some unforgiving footage (as that Processing material certainly was)!

Not as a result of any extensive research, but from what I had seen it looked better than the rest. But If I'm doing quicktime, usually I want better quality. I'll just host it myself. I'm no flight404, so worrying about bandwidth is a problem I'd love to have. I've been using Vimeo as well, at least for flv.

I decided to go with Amazon S3 web service because it allows me to store the videos on Amazon's servers and I pay a relatively small amount for the bandwidth. Another good option would be Dreamhost or some other comparable service that offers terabytes of bandwidth for under 50 bucks a month. I went with Omnis a while back and now I wish I had done a little more research. Omnis only allows for 500GB bandwidth and they have a policy where they dont charge you for overages, they simply shut you down. Boo!!! So S3 is my solution for now. Seems to be working fine (but it is a bit slower than I would like). Vimeo was a reasonable solution, but certainly not an ideal one.
