Two new very highly-requested features launch today on Vimeo:
If you’re a Plus user, you can now optionally upgrade new or existing 1080p videos to be played back in full 1080p. To do this, go to the settings page of your video, then click “video file”, then check the “Display this video in 1080p” box. Your video will re-encode and soon be available in 1080p to everyone! We’re calling this feature experimental: that means to use caution before enabling 1080p, since viewers may experience choppy playback. Remember that very few computers have 1920x1080 monitors and 720p will load about twice as fast. You can always uncheck the box to go back to 720p. We’ll be improving this feature as we get feedback, so please let us know how it’s working for you in this forum thread!
Second: AVCHD support. We’ve actually had this in beta for a long time, but never fully announced it to the world. If you shoot or edit in AVCHD, you can now upload the .MTS or .M2S file directly.
