What is the objection to YouTube? Is it the advertising or not wanting
to be associated with the brand? Knowing that will help in suggesting an
alternative. We've used Google Video before, which is nice because, to
my knowledge, those videos still do not include ads. Also, you can tell
Google Video not index your videos so they will not show up in search
results. We've also used Brightcove, but that's because we have a legacy
account. Not sure if you can still get accounts with them. And finally,
it's possible just to publish the videos as Quicktime files on your web
server and embed them on your site. If you expect a lot of traffic,
though, that might not be ideal.

I would steer clear of Easy Web Video. They are hawking software that
you don't need.
