Nice vid man - see what ya mean about the quality - haven't used any sites myself so can't suggest something from personal experience, but I heard blip.tv works for HD content hosting.

I was about to suggest that one, haven't used it myself yet, but quite some WoW movies get upped there and the quality is rather good mostly.

Btw if you want them stored just for downloading i have 4gb webspace with unlimited bandwidth i hardly use, i get speeds up to 9-10 mb/s there. So you could put some movies up there if you want. But they can't be streamed I think.

I've seen quite a lot of content hosted on vimeo and it looks good.

Is there some reason why you want to have these encoded and served off some Flash stream 0skillz? Would it not be simpler to just serve up the .mov, .avi, .wmv, .whatever that you encoded off of your master? I can do it if you want.

I read some where that the format you originally encode it in can effect quality once it's converted.
Google search tells me that for youtube you should use MPEG-4 with H.264 and set the size to 320 x 240. No idea about other video streaming services.
