streaming video hosting

[Lutochris]

My company is looking for for a good outside host for our streaming video. I really don't know how much video they're talking about, but they said they want to look for something fairly high-end. Can anyone recommend some good sites that host high-end (like enterprise level) streaming video, or just point me in the right direction to compare prices? Thanks.

format / target audience / bitrate / what "type" of streaming

BaDonGo.com has turned out to be pretty good, and it's free. I've uploaded a few large clips that should have exceeded my bandwidth, but they still played flawlessly. There appear to be other features available if you use their pay service.

Well unfortunately they haven't give ME any more details than that, they knew I was into digital video as a hobby and just kind of said:
(in Bill Lumberg's voice): "Yeah, could you look into how much that'd cost? That'd be great."
Me: "Okay, well how much video are we talking about, what format and quality, and about how many people do we expect to view it?"
(Lumberg's voice again): "Hmm, well we don't really have those details right now, just kind of get a general idea of what it would cost, 'mkay? Great."
End of conversation.

I'm pretty sure they want a higher end service, defenitely enterprise level, with high bitrate, but I have no clue what audience they're expecting or how much video they're talking about. So I was just hoping to get a general idea of how much this stuff costs, and maybe some recommendations on reliable hosts. Just point me somewhere I could learn more about this so I could just tell them something.

Try video.google.com . Its free, the quality is excellent, and there are no bandwidth quotas, etc. The only drawback is that the video can only be watched from google's webpage. free is good business.
