Still, I think it makes sense to be keeping user within the
PLUG site, instead of somewhere else. (It's hard enough
maintaining one location, let alone the extras like
facebook). In my general browsing (as a Linux user who has
trouble with flash), I find it lots easier to watch Vimeo
videos that Youtube, and in generally find the quality much
better. Yes, youtube has high def, but it's low def stuff is
still not great. And yes, youtube does now support more
HTML5 standards, but in my testing of this (the non-flash
player stuff), it's been pretty poor. </blockquote>

These are all from personal experiences. I find I like the
Vimeo player better, it looks more professional (it's not
immediately obvious that you have embedded a video, unlike
youtube that makes it much more obvious).<br>
<br>
Anyway, that's my opinion. Maybe we should try a test upload
on both, see what it looks like embedded in the plug
website, and make the judgement from there?<br>

<div>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 :)</div>

<div>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.</div>

From that point of view, youtube makes sense. See if you can solve
the 15min time limit then!<br>
