Dear Vimeo, by Jedidiah Mitchell on June 8, 2009

You run a nice video hosting service.  My favorite, by far.  I have but one, teensy tiny complaint:

FIX YOUR GOD DAMMED VIDEO UPLOAD SYSTEM.

I have stared at this progress bar 3 times already today.  Considering that it takes me a half hour to render an 11 minute episode, roughly 6 hours to convert it to H264, 45 minutes to upload it and another 45 minutes to convert before it’s ready to play, I spend a minimum of 8 hours just watching progress bars before every episode is live on the site.  IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOUR UPLOADER DIDN’T FAIL AT 100% COMPLETE EVERY TIME.

Also, it would be nice if you could prevent this from happening EVERY TIME I STAY UP ALL NIGHT TO GET AN EPISODE LIVE AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.

Thanks,

Jed

P.S: 301 is on the way.

    The whole thing seems to be messed up today. I have some videos I need to get up by the end of the day and I’m very frustrated! ESPECIALLY since I’m a paying pro user and would expect a site to do what it advertises. Maybe I’m asking too much?

    Yeah, I like happy balloons and magical video landscape games, but I like functional paid services better. I would accept a command line interface if it JUST FUCKING WORKED.
