New Vimeo Plus Online Video Service

A member of IAC Consumer Applications & Portals, Inc. family of products, Vimeo, the web’ showcase for user-created, standard and high definition content, expands its role as the creative center for videos with today’s debut of Vimeo Plus. This long-requested, affordable enhancement of the original Vimeo.com website offers 300 percent more storage space, even higher video quality conversions in standard definition and an array of new features that make it easier than ever to securely store, share and showcase videos.

"Clearly, while the expanded capacity offered by Vimeo Plus is a boon to videographers shooting, posting and now even embedding video in High Definition, the Vimeo Plus feature enhancements go far beyond available bandwidth and are an asset to SD shooters as well," stated Tim Allen, vice president of Vimeo, a division of IAC Consumer Applications & Portals. "Many of our users excited about in the increased controls, freedoms and convenience Vimeo Plus offers."

Flexibly designed to serve both the amateur exploring the range of a first Camcorder or an aspiring professional seeking the community of like-minded video auteurs, Vimeo Plus also provides users with greatly expanded HD uploading coupled with greatly reduced conversion times. Vimeo Plus members also have the ability to embed their HD videos in the Vimeo video player and on websites of their choosing. Members can even control and customize the look, feel and functionality of their embedded video player, complementing or seamlessly matching it to the online video venues they’ve selected. As a bonus, Vimeo Plus members can view videos on the Vimeo.com site in an ad free environment, eliminating unwanted distractions and enhancing their user experience.

Additionally, Vimeo Plus members can develop as many groups, channels and albums as they choose, making it a snap to create shows for their work, start groups with other members and organize videos into different albums. What’s more, Vimeo Plus offers members domain level video privacy, allowing them to control where their videos can be embedded on the web. .

Vimeo Plus is priced at a modest $59.95 per year.
