Yes, I can control access as well as all sorts of other configuration
options. Check it out again, and let me know if you like this one
better! I see it also lets me do things like add our own logos, that
sort of thing. There's other moderator functionality, and if you mark
yourself as a "subscriber" to the channel, you get notifications when
something new is added.

The compression used by YouTube is definitely an issue for low light
situations which end up being displayed as mosaic patterns.  The ten
minute time limit isn't so bad since you can divide a video up into
multiple parts.  I like YouTube's page format better than Vimeo,
although Vimeo's page format is much better for combining access to
common subject matter.  It looks like you can control the access rather
than just getting "suggestions" for similar videos such as provided by
YouTube.

Alec, I haven't created an account yet on Vimeo...can you adjust the
size of the video display?  The one thing I personally hate is paging
through multiple "pages" of links ( < 1 2 3 4 5 > ) without knowing
what's behind them or if there's anything of interest to view.  I'd
personally prefer smaller thumbnail references requiring less paging to
see all videos.
