Housekeeping Update on AddisonBChan.com

I'm sure most of you have been enjoying the high definition quality of all the embedded videos found on this site. These high quality videos are brought to you by a video hosting company called Vimeo.com. It is one of the very few video web hosting company that host video in 1080i High Definition. And since all my videos are captured in High Definition, it only make sense to use their service as opposed to the other more commonly known companies/sites out there.

Unfortunately, Vimeo.com has recently decided to start charging for its services. According to Vimeo.com, its free-service now only allow 1 free-upload per week, with a cap of 500mb. To be fair, the 500mb has been around all along. It's the 1 upload per week that I'm having a problem with. Once per week? What are they thinking? I can't let my audience to see a video of me for only once a week!?

So what if I want to upload more than 1 file per week? I would have to pay for its premium services. Since you all know that I do not earn an income.. yet, it's only logical that I shouldn't be spending until I start earning. This only means that I need to look for alternate solution. This is really sad because I do think that Vimeo.com does provide a service/product that is unique in the market place. And its quality is second to none. I have been very satisfied with this company until now!

With that thought in mind, I think it's time for me to switch my video hosting service back to YouTube. After some browsing around YouTube's site, I do notice that they offer an option to view the video in "high quality." It's not true HD, but it is certainly better than the 'regular' YouTube quality that most YouTube videos are broadcasted. The only catch is, the 'high quality' switch/link can only be found on the video's page itself. It is located at the lower right corner of the video. If you click on any of my YouTube video found on this site, it will take you directly to the video-page on YouTube, where you can find this 'high quality' link.

Check it out and give it a try! While you're there don't forget to give my videos a vote by clicking on the stars!

P.S. It is my hope that Vimeo.com will soon find out how much businesses they have lost by imposing this new business model, and re-visit their free-service package.

P.P.S. All my videos will contine to be captured in 1080i High Definition.
