I think it would actually be cheaper in the long run as Amazon only charges a minimal amount based on what you use.

I think the issue with Vimeo is consistent with several other video hosting solutions. Switching video providers is a daunting task but I'm glad you guys were able to pull it off on such short notice. I'll be curious to your thoughts on pricing though. Screencast.com is $10/mo. for 25/250GB of storage/bandwidth. I think that's pretty reasonable for a solid service. The comparison might be to a shared-hosting plan though where you host the FLV's yourself and run the licensed JW Player. I know each host has their own set of issues though (typically speed). I do believe the price of Screencast.com is more than fair for the service though. And besides, TechSmith is a great company. And thanks for the heads-up on the Flash player supporting QuickTime in the future. I really hope that means we won't have to have multiple renders for different formats in the future. I'll watch that one closely. Again, thanks for sharing and giving all of us a heads-up. Scott John,
