  Suddenly my videos on my wordpress blog, that are located at Vimeo dont play correctly.
  They should start playing at once, but now it almost takes the several minutes. The video loads before playing. The problem is WordPress, as the videos play correctly on my other sites, such as myspace and the fra-film Vimeo page.
  Anyone else having the same problem?
  I sent message to support and waiting for answers.

  Can you give us a direct link to a post on which you’re experiencing this issue?

  Yes, one can click on your name to go to your blog, but I don’t know offhand if you post vimeo videos in all of your posts.

  So, what you want is for the videos to begin playing when someone clicks Play, not when the page opens, right? I ask because I have a new machine that won’t play videos at all and also you have several Vimeo videos in one of your posts, so I guess having them all play when the page loads is NOT what you had in mind? (I saw a site like that once; it was horrible beyond words).

  Unfortunately, I’m stumped at this point and can’t even look at the videos to speculate. Maybe I’ll be able to help tomorrow, or perhaps someone could step in.

  Q: So, what you want is for the videos to begin playing when someone clicks Play, not when the page opens, right?
  A: Yes, and it worked fine the other day, and has done so since I uploaded the videos. No problem at all. But now, suddenly there is a huge delay between clicking play and watching. Not good at all! :-(
  If I dont get a resonable response from WP I guess I have to upload all videos to WP. The problem with that is their limit with size, if I remember correctly its about 75MB or something. Really annoying when you have paid for storage space and can have very large files on your account. Ah, well, there is an explanation for that I guees.
  The advantage with Vimeo is that you can upload videos up to 500MB and its no problem.
