BTW, if anyone knows a way to post videos at FR, please let me know. That would certainly be my preference!

Well, of course videos are going to be just like any graphics that FReepers post here. They don’t actually post them *from* the Free Republic server, but rather, the FReepers are posting a “link” that references another and separate server, where the graphic is.

That could be your own server (at home), or a server that you’ve contracted out to have for yourself (a contract you have with another company), or a free server that allows you to “host” graphics (or any file) on them, or from a server that may be using that particular graphic that you’re referencing.

What you’ve posted for that video is a server that is run by YouTube (of course), and have provided a link to it.

You’re *never* going to be able to have FReepers posting graphics or videos *here* on the Free Republic servers. That would cost *way too much* to do that. So, you’re gonna have to have your own servers to do that, if you want.

BUT, if you merely want to have people able to *DOWNLOAD* a video, I’ve given you a reference for that, in the previous post that I did.

You can sign up for that (free) service and host (i.e., “seed”) that file yourself, and then people can download it from what you “put up there”, if you want.

This (i.e., “BitTorrent”) ends up being hosted by all the “users” of BitTorrent, and doesn’t really reside on any particular or “one” server, anywhere. So, it’s a good way to distribute some files, if you want to do that, without overloading your own server...

Some more information on this...

I did find another one of those videos (in that information packet, the BitTorrent file) — called “Islam: What the West Needs to Know” — the FULL LENGTH VERSION directly “online” through this link.

Islam: What the West Needs to Know - FULL LENGTH ENGLISH VERSION
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-871902797772997781

I would still recommend getting the entire BitTorrent file of 6 Gigabytes, with all the videos, but this one is a very good one, too, and so one can watch it directly, online, right now.
