Digital videos are a great way to share memories, but they consume gobs of storage space, which makes it a challenge to share them. What do you do when your video is too large to fit in e-mail or even fit on a single DVD? The Web provides several storage alternatives.
For instance, consider using a photo-sharing Web site. Many let you share video with family and friends in addition to still images. The fees to use these sites vary depending on how much storage space you need.
Neptune Mediashare (www.neptune.com) is one example of a service that lets you post video albums. When you sign up, Neptune gives you a Web page where you can share videos. You can password-protect the page if you want to restrict access to only the guests you designate. Neptune’s fees range from $59 per year for 150 megabytes of space to $599 for 10 gigabytes.
Digital Silo (www.digitalsilo.com) offers a similar service, but it also will convert your tapes and DVDs to digital files, and post them in your space. Invited guests can enter the space and watch the movies.
Conversion costs $44.95 per hour of tape. Film is $249 per hour, and DVDs run $34.95 an hour. These are one-time fees. The only other charge is a $9.95 annual membership fee. And you get enough storage for 240 hours of video.
Sending videos to other folks, so they can edit or archive the footage, can be a challenge. Most e-mail systems limit attachments to just a few megabytes, which isn’t enough storage to send more than a couple of minutes of video at low or medium resolution.
Instead, consider setting up your own peer-to-peer (P2P) network on the Internet. Several programs make it easy.
