Viemo -VS- You Tube

The Kodak Zi6 comes pre-loaded with software (PC only) that will allow you to upload your clips directly to You Tube (You Tube Website). I came across a review for the Zi6 on Galding (Gadling Kodak Zi6 Review) and they had posted a clip from Vimeo (Vimeo Website). Viemo is another site that allows you to upload video clips for the world to see much like You Tube, however the main difference is that Vimeo will allow you to upload in HD as well. With the Vimeo "free" account they will allow you to upload 500 mb a week, however only one HD video a week is allowed. Also with the free account you cannot embed those HD video on other sites it is just normal video. Take for example this clip, It's was upload as HD but if you want to view it in HD you must go to the Vimeo site to see it in HD:


State of the Art Digital Studio from ZEDiMac on Vimeo.

They encourage you to get "Vimeo Plus" which will allow as many HD video's as you want up to 2 GB for $59.95. I really like the looks of the HD on Vimeo and it is certainly worth the free account to post 1 HD video a week Check it out! Vimeo.com
