I'm trying to find a better way of hosting (or making it look like we host) videos on our forum site. I know hosting videos is completely out of the question, as it's a bandwidth money pit. So I'm trying to find the best alternative solution. We're currently using a 3rd party solution similar to Youtube, where our members register and upload videos, but I really don't like it. We're able to upload our header on their server and make it "look" like our site a little bit, but I would like something that looks like it's all hosted on our site.

I like this solution:
http://videos.jeepforum.com/

It appears as if the videos are being hosted on the site, but it's really just displaying Youtube videos that people link to - though it really makes it appear as if they're submitting videos. Is that a hack found here on vb.org?

Any other recommendations?
