    I say 10MB+, but then I have a really fast connection 150Mb/sec.

    I finally got a minute or two to work on the videos. I wasn't sure the size that most people would be downloading at, so I wanted to get a better idea before I started putting all this stuff out there and eating up unnecessary storage space.

    Here is an example of 3 different sizes:

    Dialup ~1mb

    Broadband ~4mb

    Large File ~11mb

    The difference obviously being as the file gets larger the movie gets larger and the audio improves. I reckon I'll probably get 2 responses here, and mainly, I just want to know if 1mb is too big for dialup downloading.

    Also, this is a clip of when we finally reached the hotel in Nashville. The guys that are in the lobby, those are some of the guys on the softball team that I played with. They wound up going to eat at O'Charley's, we went to Ruby Tuesday's.

    I think the 1 meg file was good but when there's more sound it gets harder to hear so I reckon the middle sized file would be best. Although, I'd really prefer not to be downloading things over 10 meg so if you're gonna be posting long clips maybe just the small size.............

    No...not at all. I haven't dealt with slow connections in quite some time, and am completely clueless when it comes to how big is too big. I get frustrated here at work when a 100meg file takes more than 20 minutes. Most of the clips I am making are not going to be much longer than a minute, many of them smaller than that. I'm not that good of a videographer, so the clips were fairly weak. Anyways, I'll split the difference, dialup will be between 3 and 4 meg, broadband will remain be between 8 and 10 meg. Hopefully, this will make everyone happy.
