In fact, that reason along encouraged Freddy to use that for his main video on this AtomicTango site. Though he still likes the VideoPress, he needed the high resolution for his home page video. Thanks for mentioning it. Thanks Jane:

However, Wordpress.com also is a well populated site and the videos are hosted through their site and brought in to your self-hosted site, so you also get the extra exposure in their large community. Good comments, thanks for contributing! UniqueThink does encourage folks to get extra exposure whenever possible and this is just another option for doing that. So, thanks for the comments and I hope I clarified that for you. Let me know if you have other questions.

We have been using YouTube to embed video on our website for a couple of years now and I love being able to show a number of different clips in a video bar. I don't mind the YouTube logo on the video bar. I also like Vimeo: two things that Vimeo adds for me are passwords and high resolution. This Wordpress thing looks good though - I'll check it out, thanks. We make video biographies (personal history documentaries) and post a lot of videos to the web.

Videos are typically used to drive traffic to your blog. Millions of people everyday search youtube and similar sites for video's. Is the "youtube" logo annoying? Perhaps but by hosting their you get traffic you will not get otherwise. How many people can search yourtube for "wordpress videos" and find your self hosted video? The fact is, none can! This means you will not get traffic from that site. Although if you are going to host your video on a multitude of sites, this plugin would be great. After uploading to youtube and similar site (they link to you) you publish the same video on your own blog with no watermark logo so you are not sending traffic back!
