PunkOfLinux writes "TechWeb has an article about Google's plans to start a video service that sounds similar to Picasa. Excerpt: 'While there's no formal announcement yet, Google co-founder Larry Page said Monday that the well-known search engine concern would soon let the general public upload self-produced videos to Google's servers, partly in an effort to learn more about how to more efficiently search and display information about video-based data.'"

    I've never used that particular program but I do use Instant Demo 4 for Windows. It too creates Flash movies in a second. Worth a look also.
