Apologies to those who looked at the video on the last post — or had the patience to wait for it to download. The file turned out to be 18 megabytes large and the entire file had to be downloaded before anything would start playing. I made another, smaller file by using the smallest picture size available and going for about 37 seconds. That file turned out to be 1.8 megabytes long. That file is located here. On a fairly fast connection, this file took about 4 minutes to download and start playing.

Obviously, this isn’t the right final technology. I’ve been looking at streaming video servers — that would be a significant improvement. The file also must be able to be compressed — mpeg2 at a minimum rather than .avi! So, stay tuned, there will be changes!
