2) 500MB or 15min (5min for HD video)
3) it's possible.

thanks chuck!

how is it possible to save the video to my computer please?

or do i just keep the link so i can view it in the future? - is there a time limit the video will still be available or is it there forever?
and are the uploads to the site private, ie- is it just me that will see the video or do the site people see it too?

thanks alot :o)

To answer in reverse order....

It's not private, other people can find it and view it.

There is a time limit on tinypic stuff, can't recall what it is though, I think it's 6 months if it's not been viewed though...

There are multiple ways to save any video on the internet onto yoour own computer, I won't go into them because I think if your friend wants the video to be specifically for you they would be better of using a site like yousendit and then you'd be able to download the video directly.

Chuck ( sorry, looby) do you have to be a subscriber to be able to access files on yousendit.com? I've got a conference speaker wanting to send me a 10MB presentation, he suggested it posting it on that site, but will I be able to get in and download it without being a member? (I can't see my NHS employer stumping up to join, in the current financial climate!)
