Another wanna-be Youtube clone. Sharing videos, and movies online is a great marketing tool. Indie moviemakers, short film producers, low budget music videos etc can get great exposure to millions without spending a penny. But, one of the most limiting factor is the video/audio quality. It will take a while before we can upload adn stream 'Real good' quality videos. As long as the highly compressed internet format is followed, its tough to present your case in a more effective way.
Also, most of the videos are presented in a small 6' screen which is a distraction since most of the monitors these days are at least 15'. If you try to blow up the picture, its choppy, shaky and terrible to watch. The video quality will not improve unless formats like DivX are used widely and is available for free. Until then, live with it. We lived through terrestrial television for decades, before the advent of cable television. VHS was the way to go before DVD bursted into the scene. This is the age of HD television, and anything lesser, well is just passe'.
