Youtube got where it's trash for video's . Use Vimeo !

[Spikes]

What makes Vimeo so much better?  I've been playing around with it and don't see anything special.

No ads. It seems everything has inline ads now. YT vids, shows on CBS.com etc.

And they don't take the music away.

Vimeo is not going any where .. There not based in the state's and they  are taking thing's over fast .

?

As soon as Vimeo gets big enough for companies to care about it, they'll either start taking down copyrighted materials or be sued into oblivion.

[Jayhawk]

As small as they are at this point, I'm not surprised companies aren't interested in buying ad space.

I see Vimeo like that abstract band your music friend is all into.  Then the band gets a hit song and the friend doesn't like them anymore because they went "mainstream."

I don't think you can provide what YouTube does without advertising and channels for companies to protect their copyright.

[Flipperk]

If you video is informational you can contest the copy right and win every time.

the thing i cant stand about youtube now is all the ads all over the videos and having to wait for videos to load while being shown ads.

INCORRECT

Youtube is a Private Entity, they have every right to take down any video/music/ or text as they please or see fit without your consent.

True, they can take down anything they want for any reason. 

But, as Flight17 said, there is The Doctrine of Fair Use.

Kind of a stretch regarding music in a video though.

Seem's they don't delete your music in your video's like youtube and you don't have the ads .

Then make your own music or make a video good enough to add ads that bring you money. Just read the upload rules and ask permission to the copyrighter. Also, some raw videos are MUCH better without any (copyrighted) music at all.

easyer to post on Vimeo , lol .

[Flench]

I would like to add that once you resolved copyright issues it does not mean it's any better. In some countries these videos are blocked from viewing, which sucks.
I know because.. 50% of the FPV videos hosted on youtube are blocked for me for viewing due to copyright restrictions.

It's very annoying. It's not youtube's fault per say, but other hosts do not have to enforce this (probably because they're not as big)

I would like to add that Vimeo and Dailymotion are two alternatives which provide quick and good quality HD video and both actually support playing on mobile devices such as the iPhone or Android. (Flash and Flashless versions).

The one thing i don't like about Vimeo is the upload limits. With youtube you can upload as many videos you want, not the case with vimeo. Vimeo charges you to have unlimited access. Free wins every time.

[Spikes]

You can add music to your videos just put in the description:
"I do not own the rights to the song used, it is used for entertainment purposes only" or something...

Yeah but only 10 minute's at a time , lol.

I prefer Hulu myself.

Considering 90%+ of youtube videos are probably less than 3 minutes, that's not really that big of a deal. When's the last time you watched through a youtube video that's longer than like 7-8 minutes?

Youtube is owned by google.

Google is not a private company?

Anyone else subscribe to nutnfancy, good luck finding a video shorter than 10 minutes.    That guy could talk about a pencil for a hour.  I don't know exactly how it works but he partners with YouTube and has the ability to post longer videos.
