When I first signed up with Flickr, it was solely for the purpose of sharing baby pictures with family spread over three continents: I can set permissions for who can see them and who can’t, everyone (that I allow) can see all the photos at once, they can download just the ones they want, and there are no problems with email attachment size limits. My actual usage of Flickr has changed radically since then, but that was what first got me started and it still serves that purpose well.
Now, I’ve started shooting videos and I want to send those to my parents as well. The problem is that even just using my little point-and-shoot digital camera on video mode, creating a 50MB file is no trick at all. This however, exceeds the size limits of most solutions I’ve looked at.
email: most email servers (including Yahoo and Gmail) have size limits in the 5-20MB range.
YouTube: As far as I know, everything is public. I want to keep my videos viewable only to designated friends and family.
ipernity: This one looked good: similar set-up to Flickr, but for all file types. Unfortunately, they have a size limit of about 90MB. Ok for shorter video files, but not longer ones, especially if I upgrade to a quality video camera.
Does anyone know of any better solutions, or should I just burn my video files to discs and post them to everyone?
