    Working on my first site. How do you optimize video for fast downloading?

    I have mpeg clips that are about a minute long and are about 9 megs.
    good quality, but I think members will be pissed to sit there downloading 9 megs clips just to see 1 minute clips.

    What can I do to keep the quality but make the filesizes smaller?

    Do large mpegs stream, so they start playing right away, or do they have to fully download before they play?

      Why not make 2 versions?

      1 for high speed users and a "stipped down" version for dial-up users.

      I dont know if I would cater just to dial-up users

          that's a good idea that I think I'll do

          But I thought 9 meg clips would be too much even for high speed users.

              9 Mb on high speed? Not a problem as long as YOU have the specs to serve it up.
