I am very busy getting some work done before a holiday to Sydney. I have been unable to get much together for my BLOG, however, here is our latest showreel at digitAll/Planet X Studios the company I am a part owner in and the Technical Director.
I also wanted to give vimeo a go. I heard it was a good alternative to YouTube. And I must admit. Its very good. I found it very easy to use and gave great feed back with the status of my video upload and encode. The final quality is also quite good. They also support HD. My only problem is that I uploaded a MPEG2 8mbit file which I used for the DVD. As such it has some interlace content. vimeo did not deinterlace the content. Doh!

Very nice mate. I’d be proud to have my name alongside any of that. Although it took me right until the end to work out what YellowGlen was advertising!

The video is cool, but the quality is the same as the youtube version wich is good for youtube but for vimeo could be better.
I do have videos in both sites, I managed to put good quality videos in vimeo, but I have trouble in you tube, can you tellme how do you do?
thanks !

David,
High quality video on Youtube or having the “watch in high quality” button be available, from what I understand, is a new feature in which youtbe allows you to upload high quality content.
Last time I uploaded conent, I was given the option up upload any size I want. In both vimeo and youtube cases, I am pretty sure, going from memory, it was a 8mbit CBR MPEG2 file.
Thats a very high quality MPEG2 file that was about 500meg (Again from memory) so took a long time to upload. I have a nice link tho..
Still, as usual, better quality in = better quality out. Also, as I uploaded such a hi-quality original, this appears to have made youtube create the “watch in high quality” button.
Thats what I did, and at the time, I was completely unsure what I would get, and very surprised I had no limit on the youtube upload (And no idea about the higher quality feature.)
Still, I think you are right. vimeo appears to do a little better on quality to the hi-quality youtube version. But it looks like better pre-processing to me.
I hope this helps.
