    If I compress a video in the same format Vimeo use, will it still get recompressed? This way you would not need to spen time compressing my video and I would gain in the max storage allowed because I would only upload the smaller video compatible version.

    I am going to write a quick review of your service on joostteam.com. I think it is really great!

    Cheers!

    Humm, for some reason my HD video keep giving an error that the video can't be found and that the staff has been notified. ;-( Is this norma? Video is at: vimeo.com/339832

    I've fixed it!

    OK, so HD vid are:

    Stream #0.0: Video: vp6f, yuv420p, 1280x720, 23.98 fps(r)
    Stream #0.1: Audio: mp3, 44100 Hz, stereo, 64 kb/s

    If I ancode my HD video to this format, will vimeo accept them as is?
  • Andrew Pile 10 months ago
    No. We don't accept FLV uploads and we always re-encode video.

    Thank you for the fix. What was the problem? Was it with my source file? Should I encode them differently? The forest scenes are not making it easy for the vp6 codec... like for h.264 either. It need rather high bit rate to render cleanly. But vp6 does a decent job at it when there are not too many leafs in the picture ;-)

    Is there a reason the thumbnail of the video is showing as color bars instead of a screen capture?

    Actually, looking at the vid it does not appear tryllu HD... alomost like standard 19:9 letterboxed in 4:3 frame... let me download it. OK, I see, video is actually:

    Duration: 00:05:00.3, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 64 kb/s
    Stream #0.0: Video: vp6f, yuv420p, 960x540, 23.98 fps(r)
    Stream #0.1: Audio: mp3, 44100 Hz, stereo, 64 kb/s

    So not quite 720p glory ;-) Maybe the bitrate would have needed to be too high to keep it at it's native resolution?

    Sorry! My bad! My source was actually sub 720p... iMovie 08 played a trick on me ;-) You can delete my previous post if you want.
