Hurrah! Success!

For the past month or so, ever since it was announced that Google Video was going to stop accepting new uploads, I've been searching for a site that would host the video I take of my pastor's sermons. GodTube (now tangle.com for reasons which still mystify me - what a moronic choice!) and YouTube would not accept them; although they were under the storage limit, they were well over the time limit. I really did NOT want to split the videos into three or four parts, but...

*frustrated HUFF!*

LiveLeak and a few others all seemed much too focused on politics for Christian sermons to meld happily into the mix, and I was seriously considering asking my computer-guru Husband to free up some space on the server for the outside world to access. It wasn't the best solution, because we're on rural DSL (hey, I'm grateful for the broadband access out here, don't get me wrong!) and the bandwidth, from what I understand, would make the video capture very slow. Plus, you know, not too excited about opening up OUR network to all the barbaric yahoos out there... ;-)

And then I found Vimeo...

What I like about Vimeo is that their free accounts have a 500meg weekly upload limit - storage space only; they don't care about the length. Plus, one HiDef file per week (within the 500meg limit). If I want to upgrade to a paid account at $60/year, the weekly limit soars to FIVE GIG, plus UNLIMITED HD videos (and no ads...). Not bad; I might consider it in the future.

So, THANK YOU, Vimeo! I'm looking forward to a long and happy association.
