jengo said:Vimeo has much higher video quality but Youtube -can- get you more exposure. Honestly, I would upload to both.
Personally, I don't use Vimeo because they have ridiculous restrictions on what you can post. I use all royalty free music, but since *I* don't own the copyright, they will pull my video. This doesn't make any sense, I give proper credit for using the music.

Really!? I've had the exact opposite experience... never have had an issue with using any kind of music on Vimeo. But I've had stuff pulled on youtube for using copyrighted music.

That's you that needs more bandwidth then, not Vimeo lmao.
The reason Youtube works better on a **** connection, is because they heavily compress the file, so it doesn't take as long to download (stream / watch), resulting in a worse quality video.

How is their poor compression my fault? One plays, one doesn't. Sat at home I get 160 Mbps, both work fine. During the week on a connection I don't own or control only one works. Most people don't have particularly good broadband in the first place afaics.
Guess which one is better on **** connections - YouTube.
Now feel free to tell me everyone has great connections...

Vimeo still buffers the whole thing if you wait.
