Thanks for the tip. That's MUCH better.
I'd bet a lot of people see the Vimeo streaming version and think that the 5D MkII codec is crummy. Frankly, it holds up great. The download and streaming versions are night and day apart.

For streaming, I personally don't understand why more people don't render out a downrezzed version of their footage (say 640x360 or so). It'll stream well and run smoothly at 30p. Also, and I've said this before, I think Blip.tv is way underrated. If you render a swf directly off your source at 640x360p30 at under 1mbs, you can upload that to Blip and they'll just stream the exact file you uploaded (no transcoding). I haven't found any other site that won't transcode, let alone a 1mbs file (I think there are a few that won't transcode really low bit rate files, maybe even youtube, but blip.tv rules IMHO).
