YouTube is known as the No. 1 free video site to most . Originally created in 2005, YouTube has become part of people's leisure life.

2. Metacafe

Metacafe is another famous online video site, also known as the world-wide largest independent video site after Google's purchase of YouTube in late 2006. Compared to YouTube, Metacafe emphasizes much on the video quality instead of quantity. Categories covered by Metacafe include movies, videos games, sports, music and TV. Metacafe aims to deliver "entertainment-grade" video content to users and it is reported that only 10% of the uploaded videos are accepted on average.

3. Dailymotion

Dailymotion, a free video site based in Paris, is the second largest video website in the world (second to YouTube). Dailymotion makes it easy to find free video clips with a nicely organized home page. Most of the free clips on Dailymotion are less than four minutes. Videos at DailyMotion can be easily found as well by an array of categories or channels, which is more efficient than today's YouTube. Personally, DailyMotion contains more free adult vids other its peers.

4. Vimeo

Although Metacafe and Dailymotion both claim to focus on vidoe quality, Vimeo is the ultimate home for high-quality videos and has got large numbers of followers. As an open platform to watch free videos, most videos on Vimeo are also user-submitted. However, you may be disappointed if you reckon it as a regular video site and plan to find popular music/videos or movie trailers there. Oppositely, you will find yourself addicted to the awesome HD video shots made by the top directors and animators in the industry. The larger display and higher resolution coming with Vimeo videos ensures the excellent watching experiences on mobile devices in different sizes.

There are also full episodes of TV shows that can be watched at IMDb. As a free video streaming site to watch movies, both full-length movies and short films made by up-and-coming directors are provided in large amount.
