YouTube vs VIMEO round 2
by David Druckenmiller on Jun.18, 2009, under Technique & Technology
Here’s another side by side comparison of YouTube and VIMEO. In light of the distraction of the two clips playing automatically on the main blog page, the auto play of these clips has been turned off. You can still click the play buttons though and get the same effect. Pausing on a particular frame on each clip and then viewing full screen is very interesting.
The uploaded source clip was a 1280×720 5100kbps .H264 compressed QuickTime movie. The embedded YouTube display is 570×350 and for VIMEO is 570×320. Give it a look and see if you can tell a difference. Curious to hear your thoughts.

From what I saw, the Vimeo clip looked a wee bit pixelated when blown up to full screen. The YouTube clip was sharper. You're right. Very interesting

You Tube was significantly faster.
