Video hosting? Which is the best to upload longer video's for a paid product?

If possible I want to direct these people from a sales page to a product download page.

The problem I am having is the video's are too long to upload on my self hosted wordpress blog this is where the product would be located, and I would like to stay away from Youtube for obvious reasons.

Some of the video's are longer 30 minutes or so. Anyone have any good recommendations paid or free to accomplish this?

    I use Amazon S3, does the job perfectly when used with Amazon cloud.

    And probably one of the cheapest solutions around.

      CloudFront is good for steaming video from S3 - it sends smaller chunks of video instead of the whole file at once so your customers don't have to wait while it's buffering.

    YouTube is good to use if you can hide it that the video is coming from YouTube. Some WSOs offer apps that do that. Also, now you can upload longer videos on YouTube. You just have to verify your account, but I don't know the details for that. Maybe someone else will pipe in...
