Didn't know Vimeo allowed downloading original file. Thanks, for info., Ian L. Bandwidth will cease to be a problem when we all go optical, eh? But at some point digital manufacturers will have to offer converters that are better than 15, 16 or 17 bits. All the boxes advertising themselves as "24-bit" are only so in *format*, not *performance*. The sound of true 18-bit performance would come as a revelation to most.

Thanks for info. Why doesn't the Upload window inform the user of this? (Rhetorical question.)

Thanks, but I don't consider mp3 at 192kb/s as of CD quality. 320 would be acceptable... barely. I don't know of lossless codecs. In the Caltech Music Lab some years ago, we found that lossless bit-compression could lose about 30% of the file size, not more. Is AAC the old Dolby system? If so, I'm not nuts about it, either. Just hard to please, I guess.

My video gets uploaded and can be viewed, but an hour later the Upload page still says it's being transcoded; and when I tire of this and click on some other Web page, it warns me that my details have still not been saved. Sure enough, they're not present with the video; so I re-enter them. Either this is an outright bug =or= the process takes a VERY long time to finish even after the video itself is finished & available. If the former, it would be nice to have it fixed; if the latter, perhaps the upload page should show how much longer it has to go and where in the process it is. (However, I will never have more than a very few videos, so these suggestions should probably should not given much weight.)

As a classical musician, I would like to be able to upload audio of at least CD quality (e.g., a 16/44 .wav file) with my video and have it presented without alteration.
