Video Gallery?
I was wondering, is there a video gallery type of thing? .. something that would allow me to post full length video (bout half an hour?)... yet load faster than if I were to just put it directly in my website (which I'm currently doing, but sheesh it takes a while to load)

Google Video?
I'm not sure what you're asking. Something to install on your site or something remote? Google Video is probably the most flexible in terms of duration. Edit; it's unlikely you can do anything on your site, as I can almost guarentee it will want FFMPEG to re-encode to a common codec, bitrate, resolution, etc... And that's just way to much processing power. |

Are you saying that it takes a long time to upload the video to your site, a long time to process the video once it arrives at your site, or a long time to download the video to view it?
If you are referring to the time it takes to upload your video, that won't change no matter where the video is hosted because the bottleneck will be the upload transfer rate your ISP provides which is generally much slower than the download speed. The only way to speed it up is to save the video in a format that's smaller, higher compression, lower bitrate, etc before uploading it.

I was referring to viewing the video. Currently, I upload the video to my site, and then give the direct link... but with the direct link, the video takes a while to load. However, I -might- be able to make it work with Photobucket, and embed the videos in the forum instead.

...so I guess, technically, what I want, is something that allows me to embed videos in my forum posts, without having to share the video in youtube or something public. (which is why photobucket seemed to work; my album was still private, yet I could share the video. But the quality became way lower...) ... or, if I can somehow embed a video that has only been uploaded directly in my website? ... -something- that will make playing the videos a bit faster...

The videos are probably taking a while just due to the bitrate. If you do some web optimization it should help. Also, are you able to see what speed you're downloading the video at? If that itself is slow, it might be worth contacting support to see what's up.
