Are there any negative side affects to posting the same video to both YouTube & Vimeo

I had heard that Google frowns upon duplicate content so if I were to post the same videos to both YouTube, Vimeo and others, could that have some kind of negative impact, such as the video showing up lower in the SERPs?

I havent had any negative experiences posting the same video in more than one. I may however have not had the best results if I hadn't. I would suggest different titles and descriptions. I do know an HD video with less views will out rank a non HD video with thousands of views. Tested that on youtube not too long ago.

Thanks for your input, bozzie. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has an opinion on this.
