Do any of you know of an ISP specializing in hosting video services?
Could you be a bit more specific? Do you want to have the users download
files? Stream the video? What formats are you considering? What's wrong with
YouTube? YouTube has a high-definition mode now.

I appreciate the question. I am actually asking this for another
fellow who is not terribly technically savvy. I have essentially those
questions into him. Once I know more we can iterate.
But I thought I would get going in parallel on the answer.
I am starting to use Django, an application server written in Python,
these days. So far I like it a lot. Here is a simple video blog
skeleton for Django.

I am considering using Amazon Web Services for hosting what could be a
rapidly growing service to a major corporation but I want to explore
other alternatives as well.
Well, I think there are quite a few video services. Metacafe seems to
spring to mind as well as YouTube.
If you are looking more international, nicovideo.jp is Japanese-based,
but has translations into a lot of different languages. Sadly, not
English because they already see too much competition there so its not
worth the expenditure right now.
In spite of the issues, I would still probably use AWS for something
like this to start if you need it burstable. Eventually, you would need
to move to your own server, but it's a good way to start. Nobody else
is really offering anything comparable, yet (although Google seems to be
trying).
