Best quality online video you can get, non HD

I almost broke my back getting this right. I discovered an alternative to Youtube, Vimeo, which offers much better quality of online video, even HD. Of course, I don't do HD, but I wanted to get to the bottom of this and render a movie to the best possibele quality ever.

The footage was shot this morning, it was an awsome morning, and put online only a few hours later.

24 season 6 sucks

I have had it with 24. I enjoyed watching season 5, but gave up on season 6 rather quickly. The thing is that not just the story is unbelievable (when do they eat?), but also the characters. Jack returns from a China prison, clearly a wreck, he no longer speaks etc. But after a quick shave, he runs about saving and killing, like nothing happened to him. Also, the plot twists, the shows unpredictabillity has become predictable. You know, the bad guy turns out not to be the real bad guy, and is teamed up with Bauer, and a good guy turns out to be a traitor...
Oh no, let's kill Bauer and get it over with...
