    Ok, I have a question.

    How do I make a site... very very simple site that has... I just want one right now, that has a movie to play... thats it.... one movie

    So you open up my site and all you see is this the screen and you hit the play button and it starts streaming? Is this hard to do? need any special tool?

    Thanks

    Well I have a very simple software that I use to create super simple websites. But how do I put in a movie to play on my website? does it need to be from another source on the internet? do I need to have the file? how the heck do I do this?

    Again, a simple website with a movie player, you hit play and the movie starts to play... how do I do this?

    Thanks

    Upload it to YouTube/Vimeo/etc, and then get the embed code from the video host and paste it into your page.

    I thought YouTube had ditched the 10 min limit?
    Vimeo have unlimited length on their free accounts.

    Oh.. Im not sure if they had ditched the 10min limit, well what I'm asking basically is this the best way to go about making a site to offer free movies? I want to make a movie site... that's why I'm asking.
    Thanks

    Host the vids yourself because if you dont you have no control over the vids staying in place, its disappointing to visit a site and loads of the videos no longer exist, id never create a site from youtube or similar video hosts.

    Obviously this will be a bandwidth muncher though.
