HD Web Video Player

Still having problem in find out how to play an HD video in our ACT! Website. I found out about this Vimeo which has this amazing quality in showing HD Video, especially in this -I really want to take it home- university's monitor. After the release of new flash plugin that has the capability of playing HD web video, so now many people try this new technology. I was so happy with Vimeo, but then kinda disappointed after I found out that if I want to embed the video into my website, then the quality is reduced. It's not as astonishing as in their own website. I tried to upload one of our ACT! assets, and it came out in very nice quality. Too bad that the video we want to publish is 900MB, while the upload limit is only 500MB.

How to publish HD video!?

Vimeo cannot solve the problem. It also creates annoying orange vimeo logo at the end of the video. Our supervisor will "love" that. What should I do then? Drop the idea of showing this video? just play the video as flash without any player navigation bar and annoy the visitors? Ehhm..? decrease the quality into SD.. which is not our purpose of the project.

Sadly, other website like http://www.streamingvideoprovider.co.uk provides un-free service for this web video. It has the capabilty to upload til 1GB of video, which what we need.
