    I'm in a MHR301 class right now, where we had to do some interviews with various types of managers (eg, CEOs, tactical managers, frontline managers, etc.) and we had to videotape it.

    In my class, it's a lecture hall with 160 students at a given time (surprisingly they all show up for class too...) in which we have to present our findings.

    My professor said that if we can post our video online, then we don't have to actually have to present it during class =)

    Youtube is blocked on campus and its video quality is so-so as well...

    are there any good websites that host videos in high quality?

    The video we have is ~150MB and is ~22 minutes long.

    It's important that the video is in a high quality video stream because its subtitled as well, and you won't be able to read it without it being in high quality (or as close to the original quality as possible)

    I'm looking for a free solution lol

    Are there any rapidshare type of website as well? In case students want to download the videos?

    My video is ~150MB and rapidshare has a limit on 100MB restrictions

    Have you tried compressing it?
    Maybe in .7z?

    Can you just bring it in on a thumb drive and load it onto the computer? Do you have to stream from the source or can you just download it to the computer and play it?

    Sadly, college students are not that smart sometimes. I want to avoid rar, zip, or even 7z compressing it.

    The reason its encoded in WMA is cause its almost universal playback as well.

    The purpose for streaming is because then we don't have to go to class which the class was HIGHLY in favor of.

    Yes, I was considering that too, if there was someplace that had free filesharing for files over 100MB (rapidshare has a limit maximum of 100MB) and my video is ~150MB then downloading it would be perfect.

    So either download or High Quality Video Streaming.
