I try out most of the new video hosting services at least once, so I tried out the new C|Net upload. They don't offer much in the way of guidelines before you submit content as to what type of thing they're looking for, though the set of categories they offer (once you get that far) gives some clues. There wasn't a travel category (usually the most obvious one for my videos) so I had to choose something like "family."

So here's the rejection letter:

Greetings Deirdre'

Thank you very much for submitting Mehndi Hand Painting (7851) to CNET
Download.com Video. We strive to offer content that will appeal to a wide range
of users and also meet our editorial standards, and with this in mind, we give
careful consideration to all submissions.

After reviewing your submission, the Download.com Video editors have decided not
to post it at this time. We thank you for your effort, and we encourage you to
continue submitting new material for consideration in the future.

If you decide to include an audio track with your video, we will reconsider
posting it to our site. In the case of music, original tracks are the best
choice. Please go back to your account on video-uploads.download.com, edit your
video submission and resubmit the edited version(s) by clicking <submit>.

Once your submission is successfully completed, we will review your material for
publication.

This is a bit strange. There is audio in parts of the video (women speaking Hindi). I guess they're saying they would like it
better with music but, of course, it has to be original music. Given that I am not a musician, I have had no luck finding Indian CC music, and
don't have time to plow through the various CC music sources to look for anything else appropriate, this is a non-starter of a suggestion.

<shrug> One down, a few dozen new ones every day to go...
