I was wandering around and discovering my Gmail account;
I noticed a button which directed me to
http://picasaweb.google.com/
You can download their software and easily upload pics and movies to their site. Since the limitation is 1Gb, and their 'standard' setting is 1600X1200 it takes quite a while to upload till the full 1Gb.
sounds like advertisement, but i know what a PITA it is to some people to host their movies/pictures. With this site these troubles are gone and it's an easy to use and intuitive page.
It also has got an easy to use 'link' button to directly copy/paste on this forum.
