Can someone help me with Vimeo?

I uploaded this video onto Vimeo because i thought it would display it at it's full 1024x512 res I outputted to, but as you can see from the link, it looks pretty bad what am I doing wrong? The original QT file was around 900mb which vimeo wont upload, so i used the defualt H.264 setting in compressor which made it look ok, pretty good, and much smaller at 54mb, but once it got on vimeo... eww...

BTW, this was a super quick test for a last minute music video it looks like I'll be doing tomorrow. I was looking for a warm sunset with nice back light and some flares to play with, and what I got was the most dull, diffused, blue/grey scene you've ever seen, but I shot it anyway. Once I got home and started playing with the files in RED ALERT! I was stunned with what you could do with it. Coming from the DVX100, I find myself stunned day after day with the miracle that is RAW RED ROCKS!

I think in order for vimeo to encode a video as HD, it needs to be uploaded as 720p.

EDIT: Typo patrol! I guess 8:00 AM is just too early for me to be typing.

Yes, that should solve it.

Thanks. How should I go about doing that since the video is only 1k? will it just not work?

You can uprez it to 720p in after effects which should still look better on vimeo than the non hd option.
