hi folks, new at posting web videos; just converting from avi's down to
WMV's and MOV's. need to post some little movies on a friend's site: want
to give two options for both the WMV and MOV (pc / mac) users: dialup &
broadband. using WME & QTpro for the conversions, which is going well, but
two things I'm not sure of: bit-rate for the movies, which, I surmise, does
a hand-shake with the person's ISP bandwidth factor, thereby optimizing
their viewability.

i'm working in the range of 200Kbps to 800Kbps (dailup up to broadband) for
the bit rate of these movies. A dialup friend recently told me that her
dialup connection (aol) took 20 min to download a 4 meg WMV movie. for
some reason it didn't buffer & play, it dl'd the whole thing 1st. prob a
tweak I overlooked.

any opinions on bitrate for progressive DL movies and/or max file size for
DU/BB connections?

thanks for any comments

Del
