Amen to that! I've seen quite a few sites doing that now - splitting content into stupidly small clips - and it makes me wonder why. Surely as a surfer you want to be happy; if you keep splitting the entire movie up when I am expecting to be able to time-scroll through it, much like a DVD, VHS, Blu-ray, time-shifted TV (i.e. Sky+, Tivo) etc. then I'm not likely to put up with such treatment for very long, and will probably take my business elsewhere.
