Thank you, you did. I've reviewed many tutorials and info pages, and the only issue was the video bit rate. Understand that most internet is only 1280x720 HD not 1920x1080 HD.

Bit Rate depends on content (movement, detail, noise). A 720p slideshow will look perfect at 250 Kbps but high detail sports may suffer at 8000 Kbps. That's the nature of interframe compression.
Vimeo typically reprocesses everything to around 2500-4000 Kbps.

Watch the Good-Better-Best video, Good puts the video bit rate at 8,000,000? Most of the video I shoot comes from a GoProHereo 2, I'm editing snow skiing now with allot of movement! I see that both Sony AVC and MainConcept AVC/AAC are good to use in all info watched. I'm not knowledgeable enough to move to the better method yet.

yes, ~8Mbps should work fine for your skiing video.

Thank you again for your direction.

The video tutorial for SV 9 http://vimeo.com/help/compression suggests identical parameters for 720p and 1080p.

What is the difference between frame rate 29.970 and 30?

Is that the same as saying bit rate 5,000, 000 and 8,000,000?

This is what I use: http://vimeo.com/help/compression

Then I watched the video tutorial for SV 10.
SV 10 interface is different from SV 11. But if you search around a little bit you'll find it all works out.

There's no relationship between frame rate and bit rate. Frame rate is how many individual pictures per second. Bit rate is an inversely proportional measure of how much compression the codec uses when encoding the file. A larger bitrate results in a bigger file with more quality, while a smaller bitrate produces a smaller file with less quality.

I understand why there would be a difference in bitrate for uploads to the internet, less means less room to store and less means smaller file. But the frame rate between what is normal shot at 29.9 vice change to 30 for upload? What is the difference?

There's no reason to change 29.97 to 30. If you shot and edited at 29.97 then upload at 29.97.
