Uploading full-length movies and other large video files to the Web can be a challenge if you don't know where to look. Most of the popular video hosting sites, such as YouTube and Dailymotion, cap their video time limits around 15 to 20 minutes to conserve site bandwidth and thwart the illegal upload of copyrighted video. But the Web has some hidden video-hosting jewels that will let you upload full movies. Before uploading, make sure you legally own the videos or confirm they are free of copyright restrictions.
