Streamload offers a free online storage, retrieval and storage service. It takes only a few seconds to sign up for an account and you don't have to pay to store your stuff (they give you unlimited storage with no additional charges), you only pay a nominal charge for the amount of stuff you download back to yourself above 100 MB.
Even the subscription plans are cheap (starting at $5 a month). I've used the service for about a year now and it works very well though using just my browser. I would recommend downloading their upload and download manager if you have a windows machine. It makes backing your stuff up much faster.
Once you select a standard format (there are lots of good suggestions for different reasons here - Quicktime, Real, WMV), size should not matter if you host your video files with a service that specializes in video hosting. There are several out there that are decent, but Streamload is the best I've seen in terms of bang for the buck.
You get unlimited storage and up to 40 GBs of bandwidth per month for $40 (I believe plans start at $5 a month if you don't need that much) and you can control everything through an easy web browser interface. There are other services too... just type 'share videos' on Google to find a whole bunch of them.
