I have been hosting 30MB-300MB files on the campus servers. However some students use dial-up and old computers and need smaller files (3MB-30MB). I do not have any software that can do a good job of compressing the file to a smaller size while retaining resonable resolution. The main purpose of such service is for compression of the file.
Concerning #2 and #3, are you looking to be able to play them IN a browser, like youtube or vimeo, or is it okay for students to simply DOWNLOAD a .avi/.mpg video and play it?
I don't much care, so long as the file is compressed for faster download, and yet retains enough resolution to read bullets in a PowerPoint slide. (I just uploaded a file to Vimeo and it's got stunning resolution as compared to that of Google Video, but the bandwidth limit is not useful.)

Got any ideas?
