Google video service - can we use it for sermons?

Check out this FAQ regarding the Google video service. They let people upload videos to their servers. Searchers can then find the videos and play them in the browser.

Could we use it for sermons? Resurrection currently doesn't meet their "preferred video specs". (They want MPEG4 video with MP3 audio. We use Windows Media Video. They want a minimum of 260 Kb/s. We're doing 185 Kb/s.) That would probably be the only strike against us. Otherwise, I don't know why they wouldn't accept video from Resurrection.

Will the fact that this is free impact Playstream (our streaming video provider) and other content delivery networks like Akamai?
