Where do I find the video files?

I'm coming from a BB Storm so please have a bit of patience with me :) I've leaned a lot the past few weeks from this forum.

I took a video and I want to pull it off to post it to Flickr. It doesn't have to be on Flickr, I just have a paid Pro account with them and would prefer it to be there. The file is about 26 megs, so sending it as an attachment is out of the question. I tried looking on the SD card for it, but I can't find it. I'd like to just copy it from the SD card to my pc, and then upload to where ever I can. Or just upload it from the phone directly to a web page. Where do the video files sit on the SD card?

I did try uploading it to YouTube using wireless, and when the phone said it was 100% complete, I still have yet to see it on my YouTube page. I've never tried to upload to YouTube before though, although I would think I'd see it right away.

Ideas?

Thanks.

I just recorded a video to see where I could find it.

When I plug my Incredible into the computer, I get two disk drives that come up, the SD Card (G) and Phone Storage (H), I thought it was saving it on the SD Card, but apparently it is on the Phone Storage under DCIM > 100MEDIA > (Video File).

To get the phone storage to come up, at the top I have to bring down the notification panel, and select "Disk Drive" and select "Done" and the other one pops up.
 
Thanks! For some reason I had to reboot. Yesterday I lost my custom ringtones, pics and videos. I was cleaning up some unused folders and thought I zapped a wrong file. After I rebooted they came back, and I was able to see the video directory you described. I have one on the phone memory and on the card. Now I know where though.
Thanks again!
 
Note that while you have the drives mounted via your computer, they are not accessible from the phone. Only, after you unmount the drives, will the phone be able to see them again.

This can cause some weird things like an incoming call while you are mounted, not sounding because the ringtone you are using is on the drive that can't be accessed.
