How do I post a 20 second video?

A few months ago I found a bunch of old 8mm films, for you oldtimers, you know the 5 minute long silent films, my dad had taken in the 60s and 70s. I had them all put on DVDs and a while back I was going thru them and found a 20 second clip of me coming home from the dealer in the summer of 70 with my brand new 1970 Galleon Gold with black stripes W-30 442! A flood of memories came back, a 22 year old kid with a hot new muscle car, one of my proudest days. I still remember going down that long driveway waving like a fool and being so excited, It took me two trys to pull up on the slab.
The car only lived for 5 years before it was totaled, no not me, but it's still clear as a bell in my memory.
Anyway, I'd like to post the 12.3 MB WMV format file video, but don't know how, can anyone help?

How about just uploading it to a large-file file-sharing site like sendspace or Adrive or any of many others, and then just providing a link to that file here? People can then download it and view on their computers.

http://www.adrive.com/

http://www.sendspace.com/

For the basic service, these sites are free to join and use.

Youtube is another good idea, and maybe better than mine as you can probably embed the video in a posting here.

Hope this works, it's not much but it sure brought back some great memories. I was amazed to find that it still existed, and yes I have changed a bit in 43 years!
