I have read the FAQ, read through the discussion list, and checked out a ton of free hosts (many of whose web pages are VERY lacking when listing their features!), but I am still searching for the right host and hope that someone can help. I am looking for a host that will allow me to have short videos (>1min) and .wav files. Need at least 20MB space and 1GB bandwidth/mo, allow individual files of at least 1MB and FTP. I have no problem with ads. Any help would be appreciated! :)

http://web1000.com allows media liek that.
Though people have been having trouble with them.

I hope I don't sound too stupid here - I am just starting to learn about all this stuff.....I have a digital camcorder, and from what I understand, I can convert a video to a RealPlayer format, but to serve it over the web, I need to have RealVideo System Server installed on the host. So I guess my REAL question is, if I am correct in my thinking here, is there a free host that already has this installed and would let me serve small homemade videos over my site? If not, can anyone recommend a paid site that would let me do this that runs about $5 or less a month?

what about .zip them and upload to a host like www.tripod.co.uk ?

Well, I was hoping that I could launch the movie directly from my web site rather then have someone go through the trouble to download it.
