It is a sad day for gamers using Vimeo...

Vimeo has put an outrageous and outright ban on gaming videos on their site:

This means my RCF sizzle reel must move to the non-HD Youtube, and so will my tutorial to capture from a PS3 (If it even works...)

Bad decision Vimeo, sure you're not nearly out of budget for bandwidth costs like Stage6 was right before it crashed?

Hey
I know you used to use Stage6 for HD content, and it seems that a "successor" is on it's way. At the moment their uploads are disabled or something because they've got a bug to fix, but it's probably worth a shot for the HD videos. I had a quick look at a Crysis video someone uploaded and the quality looks pretty impressive.

Sad to see the gaming stuff go from Vimeo, but I get where they're coming from I guess...

I don't know, It's not entirely owned by DivX and it does involve specifically returning to encoding everything into DivX, I think I'll stick with FileFront for now as I can upload any file format as a video.
