On Wednesday, Google announced they will be no longer allowing uploads to their Google Video service.  Google invites you to use YouTube or Picasa, but the issue for churches is that sermons often exceed the 10 minute cap on video length.  There are several competitors on the market that allow free uploads of any length video (although they still have file size limits).  They all have “premium” accounts available as well.

• blip.tv – 1GB file size limit
• Viddler – 500mb file size limit
• Vimeo – 1GB file size limit

There are also several sites that specialize in servicing the church market such as GodTube, LightCastMedia and TruthCasting.
