Vimeo video integration

[viking60]

Vimeo video integration is now added as a BBCode on this board. We already have the youtube integration but more often videos are vimeo these days so that was added too.

Just copy the address of your favorite vimeo video and put it between the vimeo tags:

Code: Select all

[vimeo]http://vimeo.com/39711916[/vimeo]

You will find the vimeo button to the top right when writing or editing your post.

You are against all these flashy videos in forums you say? Well yes - you have a point - so we would encourage you to put them in a spoiler:

Code: Select all

[spoiler][vimeo]http://vimeo.com/39711916[/vimeo][/spoiler]

And the beauty of it is:
You do not have to use them at all - but you can!

Good quality too:

Here is a comparison of Youtube and Vimeo.

Vimeo has a really shitty Privacy Policy though:
http://vimeo.com/privacy
But so has Youtube too and they also collect the Google data:
http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/

So Vimeo is "better!

That is a lot more high fidelity than the usual Youtube fare.

I'm not seeing how the privacy policy is worse than the rest but I've taken the plunge and maybe I'll find out.
Next chance to upload a video, I'll try vimeo!

Vimeo's privacy is better than the rest (Better than Youtube ....and it still is shitty). Vimeo looks good, but my first ogv upload fubared so I need to test it more...
Hey I was wrong it just takes a litle time
Here is an "oldie"

TBH, I don't think it matters, youtube, vimeo, whatever. Youtube and VEVO have been married anyway, it won't be long before the rest of them are married to Youtube, too, paving the way for a google monopoly.

I didn't see that before; must be one of Gizmo's early performances singing and playing the ukelele.

Yeah the free music on Vimeo is terrible
