Youd agree though that companies are moving away from caring about dialup users?
The 1 video I bought from apple this evening was 20.1mb for a 320x176 clip that lasted 4 minutes 10 seconds. That would have taken around an hour to download on dialup, it took approx 1 minute for me to get it. Is your stuff dialup friendly? Surely you'd cut it into smaller chunks if it was. I remember one of your files weighing in at just over 40mb, thats around 2 hours to download on 56k. Do you have any specific potential audiences in mind for your work? Are they likely to be without broadband? Of all the videoblogs I see, I didnt think yours would be one to be more concerned about narrowband users than any other videoblogger, you are futuremedia?
