Sharing videos on the internet is hot! It's been just two years since video sharing really got going, and already we take it for granted. But perhaps you may getting confused by the increasing number of video sharing sites and can't figure out what's best. Well, don't worry. We've done the hard work for you - and you'll be surprised to learn that the most popular sites aren't necessarily the best choices for sharing.

We have analyzed about 500 various video submission/sharing  sites based on their popularity, ease-of-use, file size limitations, format flexibility, and options to download, specific for country and category. Then we grouped the sites by the benefits they offer their visitors:

There are also paid and free video sharing websites, our interest is in best free websites.  Submitting a video on various video sharing websites is not an easy and quick task, The file formats accepted differ from site to site - some even recommend a particular video format and resolution to achieve the best online quality.

You can use our software to upload your valuable video to different best video hosting sites without wasting your valuable time in converting your video to an acceptable format and size!, and wasting your time in uploading the video to various websites.

Lets take a look on easy calculation to upload a video to 20 websites

Video format conversion : 10 min * 4= 40 min
Reduce video sites: 10 min  * 2 = 20 min
Fill form to upload video: 10 * 20 =200 min
Upload Video on 20 sites: 10 * 20=200 min

Total time wasted : 460 minute or a full day job.

With the help of our tool you just need to fill the video submission form once and upload video once , then our software manage to converting your video to an acceptable format and size, and upload on selected video sharing websites.
