Where can I upload a 94 minute, 2.5GB video? (other than S3) YouTube still seems limited to 10 minutes, and smugmug is limited to 600MB (even for pro accounts).
Yeah, I have quicktime recompressing it right now (is that any good) -- hopefully it will be small enough for smugmug. There's a lot of motion in the video though, so I wouldn't be surprised it if doesn't compress well.

I have watched lectures on Youtube that were at least that long, and they weren't broken up into pieces. I think it was Stanford that provided the videos. Maybe they have some special agreement with Youtube?

Can't you pull some strings at facebook :)

Viddler faq says they have a 500MB limit. Vimeo is also limited. Veoh is the only free option I've found that claims to not have a limit, but when I try to upload, it says. "Sorry! Too many videos are clogging our pipes. Please try again later."
- Paul Buchheit
/me hopes for this feature on Facebook ;-)

Paid vimeo still has a file size limit.

@Becca Youtube was developed by a trio from Stanford, bought by a company founded by another pair from Stanford. Not surprised Youtube allows Stanford to upload videos of any length.

This might be too restrictive of a situation, but if you have Google Apps for Your Domain Premier Edition, you can set up Google Video for Your Domain. There, if you have Gears installed, the max file upload limit is 16GB.

Wow, I didn't realize that there was a GVfYD!
- Paul Buchheit
Yeah, it's only for paying customers though. Seems like it was added in the early days and since forgotten. Here's the official overview: http://www.google.com/support...

I just activated it for friendfeed, but the Gears requirement is a bit of problem too since they've now discontinued Gears. Without gears, the max is 300MB :(
- Paul Buchheit
Is it a support issue? It seems they still let you download the last version for the browsers they supported at the time at http://gears.google.com/.
- Mark Trapp
No gears for chrome. It's also not obvious if the video can be public, or if it's just for private sharing.
- Paul Buchheit
Ah you're right: forgot about that. It's only public for people within the same domain. Ah well.

Have you tried Archive.org? If you have the rights to the video, I don't believe they have an upload limit (they host a lot of feature-length movies, for example). http://www.archive.org/ There might be problems uploading files larger than 2 GB using their default Flash-based uploader, but they also offer an FTP uploader and a basic HTML uploader.
- Mark Trapp
Ah, too bad about Veoh. Thought that might be a contender. Wonder if they're defunct.

@paul let me know viddler account name and I'll make sure you dont have a limit

YouTube gave some people special dispensation to upload video longer than 10 minutes. I remember Danny Choo blogging that he'd gotten such a key once.

You need to be a YouTube partner (aka the people who make money from their videos) to remove video size and length limitations. Looks like xtat solved the problem anyway. :)
