Now they’ve just announced that they’re doing the same for video. The setup works thusly: you send them your video and they encode / submit to iTunes for a fee based on the length of the video. After that, your video goes through the standard iTunes terms and conditions (Sorry, Paris H, you’ll be rejected, we think) before getting added.

I used http://www.dittomusic.com and found them better than tunecore or CDbaby.
They provide you with over 50 sites, and not just the US based ones. iTunes, Play, Amazon, mobile sites like Nokia and Jamster, iTunes Video, we7, HMV, Virgin and loads more
They have a 4 week turn around compared to CDbabys 6-8 week and you can specify release so that you know when it is going live. They also register you for the UK charts.
They seem to have a wider coverage with about 700 sites including video distribution, ringtones etc
Definitely one to check out
