Streaming Video - How to present one?

Someone that I've never met but in a way I know, was asking about how to put a video up as a streaming download. Apparently, this one hour concert was on cable in NY a while ago.

I assume there are places that will host such a thing. I know there are many places that do mp3s in a sort of 'public' arena, but not for videos as such.

Do you have a video?

try https://upload.video.google.com/ - not sure if it does streaming or not though.

Well the person in question (think arissa archant, add two M's) has uploaded two small clips to her site anyway)

Streaming on demand, or a live streaming feed? I think technically theres a large difference. ie the former is not that hard - you just need the rm file and the link and etc, but the latter requires a server supporting RealMedia streams. The company I used to work at provided unix webhosting and we sold streaming feeds in blocks of time - you'd use the server for X days to stream say a conference or whatever. I guess because of the bandwidth.

I could be missing something major in the equation here though.

Well, basically, she has/had a video of her performance on a NY sattelite TV channel, and wanted somewhere to convert/host it.

(xpost, yes but its still a question)

If it is just a RM or quicktime file then really all you need to do is host it on a website, and people can download it to watch. You'd wanna watch out for bandwidth charges though. Erm that is, if she might get a lot of hits, heh.
