That is fantastic news. I hope Youtube is not far behind.

Vimeo has always been one of my favourite video sites. If they would allow "gaming" videos I would use them for hosting too.

View on HN

You're welcome to host gaming videos at http://vive.ly.

Try it out using invite code: hd4yc

Encode and publish your own HD video site on your own custom domain or embed individual videos using your choice of player stack. (We transcode, store, and stream H.264, Ogg, and WebM.)

If comment flagging was possible I would have flagged this post (edit: for being spammy).

edit: Below comment is not why I would flag a comment, not sure why one would think so.

Paying for video hosting is something I would never consider. Archive.org hosts mine now.

You would flag a post because you're cheap? That seems really unnecessary.

No, I would flag it because it was blatant promotional spam of someone pitching their product.

It was a pitch, but it wasn't spam. He was just telling you that he had something similar to what you were looking for. People talk about their products here all the time. Heck, Patrick McKenzie's posts about his product are some of the most popular in HN history. Talking about startups is one of the stated purposes of Hacker News. Surely you've noticed this in all the time you've been a member.

Youtube started testing this about a month ago: http://apiblog.youtube.com/2010/07/new-way-to-embed-youtube-...

Slightly off topic but I really hate how youtube tests stuff. I'm sure theres some rhyme or reason to it but from the end-user's perspective it just seems random. Example: I really like the "lower lights" feature on hulu which darkens the page background around the video. I remember for several months I would come across a button to do the same thing on youtube but it would only show up maybe 5% of the time. I can see no reason why that feature would be dependent on the video itself because it has to be just a simple CSS/JS trick.
