<br>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>

<br>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></blockquote><div><br></div><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><br></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>
