I made comparisions and the HD YouTube looks very close to the original H.264 uploaded. With Vimeo I have the feeling it's looking worse day to day. :(

I have uploaded a sample video to both YouTube and Vimeo to compare the HD at each site.

It is a Quicktime, 1280x720 H.264 file. Uploaded version was 266mb for a clip that is just over 2 minutes long.

I have to say that the vimeo version looks significantly better to me.

YouTube - Amelia Plays on the Playground

At least for this video at these settings, on my computer, the Vimeo version looks much better.

(The test video is a clip of my neice playing on a playground, so if you don't like kids or you don't like "home videos" don't click on the links).

And you are right. These are the reasons:

- Your video is steady as hell, so is "compress friendly".
- Vimeo has a 1280x720 video resolution, instead of Youtube's 960x540.

So, in this particular case, where bitrate is not a problem, Vimeo wins.

But try now a video with more action and you get this:
- Vimeo: blocky but sharp when the camera stops.
- Youtube: sharp all the time with no artifacts.
