Vid size and format recommendations for member's area

[emmanuelle]

we bumped our's up to roughly 5 minute clips @ 1500kbps.
Some members love them, but I've received a few emails from people having trouble, so I think we may have jumped the gun a bit. I'm starting to re-encode @ 768kbps for those people now.


btw- never skimp on the paying members, find ways to cut your expenses in regards to the freeloaders instead.

Thanks for the comment, I was starting to think no one had member's areas with video content in here! I think I'll stick to the format I'm doing then, 1024 looks very good to me, and 512 is a bit too low quality for good connections. I was just wondering if quicktime or real media was better in regards to file size or quality, but I think windows media is the standard for most?
