What are we doing with video?

This is more of a SmugMug Suggestion that's why I'm posting here rather than the video forum.

SM has had video for a while now, but I never gave it a second thought until I saw Don's blog with the clip from the 5D-MKII.

I shoot with a d200 so I bought my wife a D90 in case she want to borrow a lens or what not. Again up until I started seeing the samples of videos from the D90 and 5d-MKII, I was sure I hated the idea of an SLR having video capabilities.

So Don's clip inspired me to play around with it.

Now I'm thinking, what is everyone doing with the video on SM? Are we just using SM to host the video so we can share it around?

Like a few others, I'm here at SmugMug selling prints, now I want to sell video.

Is SM working on this?

When I export out of iMovie to my MobileMe account it gives me an option of (I believe 4) different sizes to upload and I can chose all 4 if I want, Tiny, iPhone, Web, & Original.

Couldn't we have an uploader to SM do the same thing? then simply put price tags on DL's of the different sizes and sit back and wait for the money to roll in.

We offer digital DL's of images is it a major difference to do the same for video?

I'm sure I have customers standing in line for this product already and they don't even know it.
I sell prints from images of a gymnast doing a 90 second balance beam routine, I guarantee you a 90 second movie of the same event is going to have customers.
It's simply the next step,

Oh Please, pretty please. Can we get this up and running?
