Not being a tech guy, I have no idea what it takes on the server end to properly play an HD video that may be in the 250 mb file size range.
I am not sure how Vimeo and ExposureRoom, but they both play HD videos well, especially ExposureRoom.com
We will not have a truckload of videos, as it is a hobby specific sort of site, BUT, if the HD videos play crappy, the site will be dead before it ever gets off the ground.
Oh yes, I am sure someone has a dedicated screaming fast server that they are more than happy to sell for a boatload of money, but will the basic plans play HD videos as well as Vimeo or ExposureRoom? Or will they be all jerky, need constant buffering, etc?
I am ready to go, I just need to ask some dumb newbie questions first.
