1 minute per gallery is not excessive at all. It gives enough time for the surfer to get a taste. It boils down to the clips that are used and how they are presented. If a gallery is built where the movies seem to play back to back, meaning clip 2 picks up where clip 1 left off, then yes, the surfer will most likely blow his load.
People need to pay attention to the clips they are using. There are far too many galleries out there that give away far too much of the goods and/or you can watch the first minute to 2 minutes of the movie all the way through. People sometimes tend to forget that the clips are just samples of various parts of the movie, like watching a mainstream movie trailer.
12-15 secs is an ideal length for clips. People don't have long attention spans. If you make them too short, you won't grab the surfer. Make them too long and the surfer blows his load and/or loses interest.
How many surfers click gallery #2 on a freesite? How many clips are the surfers downloading and watching from each gallery?
2 galleries @ 1 minute each is not an unreasonable request. 30 secs per gallery may work, but that also means less content for the sites who list them.
