Vimeo: Streaming Videos in High Definition
Upload, Share, Connect, and Explore, all in HD!
I found out about Vimeo a few weeks ago from a techy, Orthodox Christian. He recently posted some videos of a Fr. Daniel’s ordination into the Orthodox priesthood. This was the first time I’ve seen an Orthodox ordination so it is kind of neat to see. And if you have not been to a Catholic ordination, I would encourage you to attend one. They are quite beautiful, and it is good to support & pray for our newly ordained priests.
Catholic Christians have a lot in common with our Orthodox brothers and sisters in Christ. Keep praying for further unity among the East and the West!
Okay, back to Vimeo! : ) Vimeo has been a family-safe alternative to YouTube since 2004. The name “Vimeo” is a mix between the words “video” and “movie.” (I knew you were wondering : ) Vimeo has a simple interface, an easy uploader, and the option to let viewers download your original file (up to 500MB). With Vimeo, there is a 500MB weekly, upload limit, but you can spread that out between videos. They do offer Vimeo Plus+ for those who need 2GB per week.
Just last month Vimeo reached 100,000 HD video uploads, making Vimeo the largest repository of high definition video anywhere in the world!

Yeah, I love Vimeo too. The only problem is we can’t embed them in Stblogs.
With the YouTube dilemma, I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to add a pug-in that supports Vimeo to StBlogs. Or one of the other alternatives to YouTube.
Just a quick note to let you know that we’ve got some of our most popular videos up on Vimeo. The video previews are larger than on our Catholic Media House website and the video code can easily be copied and embedded into other sites.
You can find us at http://vimeo.com/catholicmedia/videos for the videos and http://vimeo.com/catholicmediahouse for our channel. We’d really appreciate your feedback.
God bless,
CATHOLIC MEDIA HOUSE
