I prefer the shorter ones because of where I watch...at work or on my video ipod. When I can have it all connected to my living room tv...then I may want to watch longer pieces. And yeah, it'd better be a progressive download.

For me size does not matter (in videos)However you got me mad if i have to download a 10 minute 50MB fileshowing some dork answering his email thru a vlog using theword whatever and like every 10 seconds.
It is not the question do you like long or short video's for meit's more if the content is worth downloading.So people use TAGS!! or descriptions, a picture as a teaser will getme going too.

you've got 20 of them to watch. i'll take a 30-second video that's so rockin' i have to watchit three times in a row, over a three-minute one where i'm fast-forwarding
going ok ok... i get it. disclaimer-- i am far from your typical vlog viewer. i'm ondialup and don't subscribe to any feeds.
instead i visit sites individually and make download decisionsbased on the criteria of text description, file size, intriguingscreenshot, and easy access to the .mov file (a few of you make this last one kind
of difficult). anything over, say 15MB and i'll have to get back to youtomorrow... assuming i leave my modem on all night... and i remember it inthe morning.
even with my finite download capability i somehow still windup with a backlog of unwatched vids. xo philip

i regularly download files in the 80-100Mb via fireant,although most are smaller.i tend to be less patient in the browser.if there is a
feed, i'll use that instead if it makes sense.if not, i'll download it inthe background. i generally multi-task and so rarely care howlong the download takes.i prefer not to view vids in the browser, i
prefer a sizable player like fireant.in general, i don't really care how big or how long a videois as long as the content is worth it(there is a limit of course, I'm
not looking to download gigabyte files just yet).very few pieces ofmedia can hold my full attention for 40 minutes anymore (especially moviesand TV).
i don't generally stop watching when it gets long, i usuallyjust fast forward.if i do stop, i generally stop watching a video within thefirst 30
seconds. If it has not captured me by then (or if it's notfrom a friend perhaps), I delete it and move on to the next.again, sizeis not much of a factor here.
while i constantly find great stuff, most videos fail tocapture my attention these days (this is more of a statement about theincrease in the number of videos, not a decrease in quality - there's
just a lot more stuff out there these days)the main reason for stopping a download: i found somethingelse I want sooner
my download speed is usually in the 512Kb-1Mb range with noother limits (e.g., total downloads not limited). while this is notsuper fast, i would probably feel different (
i.e., more selective) if I hadslower access.i like streaming for the video conferences, but it does notseem to make much sense to me for vlogs (from a viewer standpoint, it
stops and starts too much and it's usually hard to fast forward).hope that helpsStephanie Bryant wrote:
I find myself revisiting this question every time I post alarge file to my vlog.How much is too much? At what point will you (personally,
yourself, as a vlog watcher): 1) Stop downloading the file. 2) Stop watching the movie (how many minutes, assuming it'snot too boring).
Just curious about the answers-- someone recently said theywanted longer than 10-minute vlogs, because they wanted to reallysit down and watch stuff, but I wonder about that. A 10 minute vlog
is 30 MB, easily. A 40 minute vlog would be almost 100 MB? Is thatworth your time, bandwidth, and download speed? Would it make moresense to stream instead?
