Need suggestions on easiest way to store videos for download

WEB DESIGN

I'm looking for a few suggestions on the easiest way to store videos for download purposes. I have a small email list (roughly 100) and I would like to send each subscriber an email with a link in it to allow them to download a video I create. What's the easiest way to do this?

Am I likely to have issues with my hosting service if I store the video on my site and make it available for download directly from my website or is that really a problem with a fairly small number of downloads?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks - Bob M

Yes it should be alright. 100 is not a big number in terms of traffic and bandwidth..

  If you are concerned about problems with your hoster, you can always use Amazon S3, you only pay for the actual usage.
  
  I have seen eZs3.com - Making Media Easy by Unleashing the Power of Amazon S3 Hosting in use several times and it worked quite good, so maybe you want to take a look at it.

Hey Bob,
That's a good question and the simple answer is to use Amazon S3 services.

I had this same task myself and found an easy solution.

Amazon S3 is super reliable with no down time and it is not hosted on your server. It's a bit complicated to use without some software. Amazon suggests Screencast but that costs about $400!

I found a great product here on the Warrior Forum and wrote a review on my site about it: Easy Video Player 2 - Plus 600 Daily YouTube Views Forever | Franks Affiliate Marketing
Highly recommended by fellow Warriors.

This software makes loading to S3 so easy and your readers would receive a link to your website where they could watch, download, share on Facebook, Tweet or Digg your video and spread you message. You can even add subscription boxes and paypal buy now buttons in the video.

I hope this helps and if you have any more question just ask.

Best,
Frank
