AFAIK youtube quality is good and I've been uploading to both youtube and
vimeo. It helps to upload at resolutions that they prefer and start with
good video of course :)

The point of having it up there is to increase viewing outside of PLUG
mailing list subscribers, not to divert regular PLUGers to youtube/vimeo (we
can just embed on our website for that - and still offer the files for
download). And with that in mind I think youtube has a broader viewership
than vimeo so my preference is there. The only issue being the 15min time
limit but it sounds like that can be solved - I will look into it.
