How can I post a video for people to see without using YouTube?

I almost forgot to mention to also keep in mind that this forum lets you embed youtube.com videos as well, so that you can simply put them in your post.

Something to consider.

Better yet.... DON'T use stage6 unless you also want to install the spyware that comes along with their streaming DivX player.

I would consider hosting bit torrents for each file.  If you want to host multiples especially.   Sure some people don't like it much, but I don't see many other solutions without spending money without going with a youtube style site.

I wanted to post a video of my jukebox lights in action ..... the video is currently in MPG format since that is what my video camera produces. 

If I use YouTube.com to post the video then can I delete it after it is posted if I wanted to?  Doubt I would need to do this but I dislike the idea of posting stuff which I can no longer remove..... if I decide that is what is required.

Anyway, I would still prefer not to use YouTube .... ugh

Thanks for the stage6 warning....
Neverending Project:
I was going to post the code to embed a QuickTime movie in your web page, but apparently that is the old school way of doing it. The new hip way is to put a script tag where ever you want the movie to appear which calls a JavaScript (provided by Apple). The JavaScript will create the correct <object> and <embed> tags for you.

A complete example, along with the JavaScript can be found here. Oh, and let me know if you want to see the regular old <embed> tag code for embedding it in your web page without using an inline script.

Note: you will need QuickTime Pro ($29) to convert the movie to Fast-Start. If you have QT Pro and need help exporting the movie as Fast-Start, let me know. If you don't have QT Pro, give me the link to your web page where your 51MB behemoth movie is, and I will download it and covert it for you. I can even convert it to something like h.264, which will give great quality at a much smaller size.

Oh, and I would stay away from torrent files. P2P networks aren't designed for delivering media content on your website - they are for transferring and sharing large files (among other things, I would guess).
