Hey guys, recently I've been trying to figure out a way to get the movies on my HD (ripped from my DVD's for portable use). I've been reading the forums and usually its hard to pin someone down with a link of a web server that will let you stream a 1.5 hr + movie to SL. I've got the movies, converted from .avi to .mov, but when it comes to actually finding the server I need to stream it to SL so that it's simply hit play on your media player and watch... if someone could please post a nice little list of helpful servers, I would appreciate it greatly ^.^ Free preferable, but any would be helpful.

Find a New hosting company that is starting out that offers massive amounts of banwidth and space on their servers. Like hostmonster.com . Do a google search for top 10 hosting companys and see who offers the most space and banwidth and has streaming capabilities

So if i get your jist, you want free server space and bandwidth to stream your movies to SL. This must be so you can set up a for pay service in SL? Hmmm, what's wrong with that picture?

A list of servers:

1. Your computer.

Seriously, set up apache and stream from your computer. "But my internet isn't good enough!" Too bad, thats not an excuse, get a better ISP, try fiberoptic, i love it.

Actually, I have no intentions at this time to set up any pay service in SL... I have 65 movies and my partner and I want to watch a good movie without someone walking infront of the screen because the person charging for the movies in SL is using a cam copy that has terrible quality.

So answer... no, you don't get my jist but thanks for the constructive feedback!
