red,
I'm not sure that Carknee would be able to swallow the bandwidth usage that movies would eat up. Picture images eat up plenty, thus the fact that they are removed from time to time. No need to eat up resources if you dont' have to.
Vid files would use tremendous bandwidth as folks downloaded/viewed the files.
*like I have room to talk here*
If there were more supporters, or if only site supporters could gain access to these vid files, bandwidth would be diminished significantly. This is the method we use on another forum I'm on. You don't have to be a supporter, but you have to be a verified member in order to upload images. We don't have video files uploaded to the server at all. They are all linked out to other servers.
Mentioning this, I would be all for being able to upload vid files if the site administration would so allow. The condition of being a site supporter would be a stipulation of having access to these files.
Carknee, sound like anything you'd even be *interested* in pursuing?
