High Definition Video Comes to Vimeo

High Def Video Blogs at Vimeo

Thanks to Vimeo (teaming up with Canon), vloggers now have a place to share their high definition video.

The resolution of the videos is 720p (1280×720) — which Vimeo claims is “12 times better than the standard 320 x 240 resolution.”

Due to the increased load of high-def video, Vimeo accounts have been increased from a weekly upload limit of 250 MB to 500 MB.

Canon is helping to subsidize the costs of such an increase this year, but the Vimeo blog warns that to keep such an increase users will most likely need to pay a subscription fee starting in 2008. There’s no mention of how much that would be.

While HD video cameras and camcorders have begun falling to prices under $1,000, bandwidth, it seems, is still going to be a problem.

You can see some HD videos on Vimeo at their featured high-def section.
