Ken don't know if this is what you are refering to but no personal website is needed just upload your video after creating an account.

Yeah it asks for your own website as part of the sign up. I tried posting some videos of my wife and I and it wouldn't "publish" them because the website I gave was not real (I don't have my own).

No it doesn't. What ya smoking? And how come your not sharing?

These are the steps required to upload. You just need to use there little program but I don't see anywhere it says that the vids need to be hosted on your personal site which would mean using your bandwidth.

Dude you're correct! I swear when I signed up awhile ago it required a website so I never used the damn thing.

I'll try it tomorrow, but Google said there was an issue with authentication.

Ken, it looks like all they are going to accept is Mpeg-2 and Mpeg4 so if you're made whatever you're trying to share a wm (windows media) file that may be one of the reasons you're having trouble. Just a thought.

You pr0n guys make the web go 'round.
