Check out the vimeo help for the suggested settings: http://www.vimeo.com/help/hd

Choose in Vegas the MainConcept AVC/AAC codec and enter the required settings.

Eugenia Loli-Queru wrote a very nice blog entry on using Vegas and Vimeo.

The main settings recommended by Vimeo:
1. H.264 - use the MainConcept AVC/AAC or Sony AVC encoder in Vegas 7/8 (.wmv if using an older version of Vegas)
2. 1280x720 - set as a Custom Frame Size
3. 3000-5000 kbits/sec - bit rate in Vegas will show as 3,000,000-5,000,000 bps
4. AAC 128kpbs stereo - 48,000 Hz, 128,000 bps
