I did use the word "video" as a loose term really, it's more interactive than just a video, otherwise YouTube would have been where it got put. And realistically, all servers are, are places to store web files, they just get stored in a way that others can view them easily. I'm not talking even talking about "storing" a file that will never get seen, it would probably get seen more than the rest of the site would if I think about it. Not a problem though - can't put it on there, will have to figure something else out.
