It's simple.. the light in the kitchen is better, which we discovered when we did the Thanksgiving show where we cooked frozen turkey dinners.
Keen eye, we are in Atlanta. Cheers, keep watching!

Wow, the playback quality on Vimeo is so much better than on YouTube. Are you doing anything differently on the production side, or is this truly the difference between the two hosting sites?

We've been playing with several video sites and Vimeo is hands down the quality winner.
We did make some changes this time around, however. We're using a new 3ccd camera, which has helped the white balance and noise issues. I've also started using Media Coder to re-encode the video down from raw DV to Xvid for upload.
The same uploaded file looks way worse on YouTube. I'd not realized what a huge quality difference there is between sites until starting this project, but I'm definitely going to write up some of my findings and give other people an easier time of it than I've had. I'd say in terms of quality, it goes Vimeo, Blip, Revver, Metacafe, and down from there. I was really interested in using Viddler, and I've seen other videos there which look great, but so far I've been unable to get mine to look anywhere near as good as things like Fork You or WLTV.
Vimeo's coolest feature may be the really uncluttered playback interface, and the fact that you can theme the player to match your site's colors. I'm totally in love.
