iTunes will accept uploads of full-length movies but read carefully when you get into iTunes Connect as you have to be a Big Player to meet their requirements (i.e. you control a catalog of video rather than a few paltry movies).
The alternative for lesser beings is to go to an approved aggregator such as Juice which can submit the movie to iTunes on your behalf. Juice can also submit them to Netflix. There is no plastic in either delivery path and iTunes won't even accept a DVD as your resource, the video must be encoded and submitted digitally.
Juice is not the only approved aggregator so you need to do some reading for this but the time is worthwhile as you want to make some jingle with your music and here's another way to do it. You don't need to 'think outside the box,' you need to blow the box all to hell.
I know you don't want to screw with this because you're a musician and you want to play but you've got to be heard and video is a peach of a way. You can shoot a movie and you can do it alone.
Using the three-camera technique I have hammered endlessly, you have sufficient video angles to keep visual interest high. Start the cameras running when you go into your studio and begin your setup for your Second Life gig. Talk to the camera as you go along as you're living your own reality show. Keep recording until you teleport out of the sim and fade to black.
Note 1: The purpose is not to capture the Second Life screen image although it works if you do. You can get highly arty with this but your musician time turns into videographer time so you run a balance.
Note 2: Three HD 1080p video cameras will run for all three about about $600 US at near the lowest and about $2500 US and up for all three of anything with a significantly bigger lens.
You can do this and the only constraint is compute power. That's why the incessant whining about upgrading this one. You don't have to be George Lucas to edit video and you can do this.
So, assuming you filmed yourself setting up for your gig, playing it, and then winding down after, that's a story and, on video, it's a movie. It will run about 90 minutes. Take a bow.
Submit your movie to Juice and see what happens.
