Bascially they do not want paying small business customers!!!!!! If you are using them for your business you are at risk of having all of your videos shut down. Dave, you should warn your people about this. I set up a PAYING account on vimeo and they shut

Keep in mind that all video sharing sites convert these videos differently...and display videos at different sizes...so they all have their little nuances. But if you're using someplace like TubeMogul, the best "one-size-fits-all" format is a 640x480 video, H.264 at a 1200-1500 bitrate, with a .MP4 extension. Here is the same video produced with those settings across different sites: http://www.howcast.com/videos/60037-All-About-QuickTime-Video http://uncutvideo.aol.com/videos/7ce0ffb3e9f8368486b4b5df8a66637b http://www.graspr.com/videos/All-About-QuickTime-Video-1 But like I said, this is a general "one-size-fits-all" format. If you do this on Google or Blip for example, they display the videos larger so they don't look as sharp. On the upside though, the specs listed above do work (generally) with iTunes. That means the same video can be used for a feed into iTunes where people can download the video to their iPod/iPhone.

Then uploading a video encoded with the H.264 codec, 20+ frame rate per second, etc. setting should produce an HQ output on a site like daily motion. Right? P.S. You should get the plug in "subscribe to comments" so that I don't have to check back here to see if you answered my question.
