Since it's 2 hours, you can reduce it down to about 500M (or less) by encoding to 320x240 450kbps DivX (or XviD) and 128kbps MP3. Depending on quality of your source, the resulting video may not look that good, it's all about experimentation.

Well, if you are interested in hosting such files only once in a while, a normal shared hosting package will be ok for you.. most of them offering 60 to 80 GB per month.. and remember this section is not public so it won't generate too many hits.

Of course if you don't want to pay just to host a single video and no more then, we can help you out.

Thanks for this GTR, and JW for hosting it. I saw the trailer for this on DirecTV and though 'oh I'd love to see that'!

Nice one!

This is sort of off-topic (or not), found a hour long lecture on Da Vinci's code. You can download them from:
