Video web publishing

I found a limited free web hosting space for uploading a couple of videos of the simulations done during the last Congress I've been involved into. In particular I've 15MB of free space for each file. Unfortunately the videos recorded during the simulation sessions are more than 60MB each one. 

For that reason I found a free convert-compressor by which I was able to:

• convert videos to flv format (really cool, isn't?)
• compress each videos to 15MB
• add play, pause and enlarge buttons

What's this freeware? It's Free Video to Flash Converter. You've to play with it a little bit before using it, but it's really easy to start working with it. For example: learing to compress the video to the right dimension becomes a simple task once you've learned you've to reduce the video bitrate and the frame rate (who cares about sound quality? It's a simulation, not a Queen concert!).

I hope it could be useful to somebody else out there
