Quoting Patrick Haney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
To be honest, I'm not sure why they didn't go with animated GIFs to do this.
Probably because even large QT movies can be made to pseudo-stream (fast-start) and play reasonably smoothly (as it starts buffering, and only begins playback when there's a reasonable amount of initial frames downloaded), whereas all bets are off with very large GIFs (which will tend to make the animation very choppy).
They could offer it as fallback content, though... P -- Patrick H.
