So YouTube finally got around to offering video in HD! I quicky uploaded a HD clip to both YouTube and Vimeo to compare the two. Check them out for yourself, I think they both compare ok.
The only thing that constantly bothers me is that rendering out to H.264 in Premiere always alters the gamma and shifts the blacks into grey.. agghhhhh!!!
The actual upload format for these clips was 1280x720p at 10Mb/s.
Oh, and a tip I found was to include "&fmt=22" at the end of the YouTube clip URL to be sure the video starts in HD
YouTube HD
Vimeo HD
Now that was a FUCKING cool clip ;-) Don't give up guys!
