why does it have to be one or the other? Unless Youtube is paying to license your content, and you agree to only host video on their site, then maybe this might make sense. (but dont give up ownership to your work!!!) Put the video on Youtube, but put it on you own site as well. Put it other places too. Why give Youtube so much power? as we know in the web 2.0 world, the barrier to entry is a server. jay -- Here I am.... http://jaydedman.com Check out the latest project: http://pixelodeonfest.com/ Webvideo festival this June!!!!
