Why do you host your screencast on the landing page on Vimeo?

It feels kind of wrong that a company that integrates video into web bug trackers needs to host their own video on a 3rd party video hoster.

Just because it was easier! Our servers are setup for hosting bug videos, not Adobe Premiere-edited product videos.

Sure, we could have copied the product video onto our servers, rejiggered our video player to play it, etc., but it's not worth it, IMO. I (the product guy), didn't want to waste any dev time whatsoever on our home page video.

(P.S. - what happened to all the web-based video editing tools!? Remember JayCut? Anyone else like them around and available)
