Hi Aland - sorry you've had problems sending a video clip to friends - it could [or maybe does] exceed the allocated file size permitted on some ISP networks.
I was equally nervous about Youtube, when I started sending videos in January, but not any more - the huge scale of Youtube ensure a very large measure of anonymity to users. I now include vids of family birthdays/ events and beyond a necessary very short title [like 'bills b' or 'bugs'], omit keywords / text to minimise others finding you via searches!
Suggest you search Youtube under "starting on youtube" etc for some excellent [and rubbish] vids as a guide - some give advise on your personal Youtube settings to remain reasonably covert. Good luck - I've never looked back and now have my own channel and just email friends etc with the unique Youtube URL for them to view my new video - the minimal hits indicate to me nobody else is viewing them - if I don't want them too and if you're really picky you can confine the viewers to a private list of up to 25 people
