Lesson One: Always read the Terms of Service of a site before deciding to use it, even if another marketer told you it was "okay" and even if that other marketer was a Warrior.

Lesson Two: Re-read Lesson One.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a video hosting service that allows commercial usage, preferably at a reasonable cost?

I've searched through a number of sites that were recommended as such but, when reading their terms of use, commercial use is not permitted--that is, you cannot use the service to host videos that serve as an advertisement--even on their paid levels of service.

I know that Amazon S3 is an option, but the benefit of many of the other video hosting sites is that they'll take your uploaded video and make it available through a variety of players, most importantly Flash, so that people will be able to view the video easily. Some even make the video available in different formats and bandwidths to make it even easier for the viewer.

What I'd really like to find is a video hosting service that has a flexible video player and allows commercial usage all for a reasonable price.

Any suggestions?

TIA.

Got to say, WebVideoZone. Lots of sizing flexibility, no delivery issues, and some excellent marketing features designed for IMers.
