definitive answer for storing home videos

[ibrainch]

I've googled and searched these forums for the ideal solution on how/where to store home videos and have yet to find anything. My basic need is to have an organized library of all of my home videos which I can watch on my AppleTV and/or publish to my webgallery page. I am now using a FlipMinoHD camera to take most of the video. I usually avoid putting video in iPhoto because I had done that in the past with my Canon Elph video clips and they always seem to get lost in iPhoto (like I never watch them). I guess in order to have my videos on AppleTV I need them in iTunes. But, in order to post anything to mobileme, I need it in iMovie. By having video files organized in iMovie first and then "shared" with iTunes, it seems to create another 2 files (one within my movies folder for sharing) and one in my iTunes music folder under movies. Isn't this now causing me to use 3* the storage for these videos. Anyway, I'm sure someone here has figured out the ideal solution. Thanks for any help.
