Sending pics and videos to a site for sharing is pretty easy. Now this is considering you have Photobucket and You Tube. Couldn't tell you about others.

Basically after setting up your accounts with them, the camera software will send the pics to them thru the "share" option. Videos require a Wi-Fi connection.

The new You Tube now does HD video, so they show up in high-quality 720p.
Pretty much easy as can be.
Sent a 15mb video in about a minute or so. Thought that was darn good.

Your mileage may vary...
 
I've used the "share" option to email my pics to my facebook page and it usually works, but I will get an error on occasion. When that happens, the notification bar shows an orange triangle with an excalamtion point, but it won't let me do anythign about it or see what happened, other than to clear it and tell me there was an error.

Ok I noticed my video quality on youtube was nothing like my phone quality.Anything I need to do?Is there a way I can play my video in high defenition on youtube??

Are you trying to view it in hi-def on your phone or your computer?

Anyway, my experience with YouTube is that it renders the video in the normal quality first, then works on the higher-quality versions.

I haven't posted any directly from the phone, but when I upload through the computer it typically takes an hour or more for higher-quality versions to render and appear.

The video has to be posted in HD. There is a little "drop-down" box by the video position slider that defaults to 240p or 360p. Click it, and if there are other higher-quality versions, you can select them: 480p, 720p, 1080p. The 720p and 1080p are labeled "HD" by YouTube.

I used my computer to post a Droid X video, and it rendered it all the way up to 720p
