I was still holding out some hope that my inability to view embedded streaming video from iMeem was a glitch.

However, via

"This week, we’re making some changes to imeem’s video embed and video upload policies. Starting today, only videos from official artist profiles and the imeem jukebox can be embedded and played beyond imeem. This means you’re no longer able to take videos that you or other users have uploaded and embed them for playback on widgets outside imeem.com. We have also limited the length of video uploads to eight minutes each."

This is exceedingly unfortunate. Does anyone have a different service that they use? Preferably with a higher-quality image than YouTube, and one not prone to pulling vids/deleting accounts.

Bueller? Bueller?

Hey, I was just checking out your vids and saw this. Have you tried vimeo (http://www.vimeo.com/)? I haven't tried using it myself but have seen quite a few other vidders using it.

Thanks for the suggestion! However, while Vimeo has fairly high quality streaming, their terms of use specifically prohibit fanvids, and people have been having their accounts deleted even when everything is password protected.

Given imeem is now removing all user created content, I'm really going to have to find an alternative. I've signed up for both Blip (http://blip.tv) and BAM Video Vault (http://bamvidvault.ning.com), and am evalutating each.
