If it is less than a meg...you should be able to load it into the Media Center (just like a picture)...then, put the link in your post.

Hell sometimes I got pics that are too big for the media center.
Where's the port I plug my 8 mm movie cam into the computor. Anyone know where I can get that special adapter delio? I also need the thingy that interfaces the two medias too. Should be a piece o cake for some of the big buffs here. What's the delio?

The newer digital camcorders typically have a firewire output that you can hook to any computer with a firewire port and transfer the video. If you have an older PC without a firewire port you could install a card such as the following if you have a spare PCI slot:
Firewire adapter
For non digital camcorders such as 8mm and VHSC you would need to have some sort of video capture card or device that converts the video from analog format to digital. The quality can vary significantly among these. I have an ATI TV Wonder card that I got for about $49 and it does an ok job but not great.
Then once you have the video on your computer in a digital format you have to find a place on the web to upload it to. Like HH said Hot Boat media center can accept video up to a certain size, my experiece it is somewhere in the 2-2.5meg range. If it is bigger than that you have to either have your own web space somewhere or find someone who does to upload it to.
