Well, I can't speak for others but the reason I do segments instead of full version is because up u/l and d/l times.
A lot of members feedback (of my sites anyways) prefer smaller clips as to not alienate the dial up user, and so they see what the clip's about in a 2 minute d/l versus a 15 or whatever. If they want the full length uninterupted, we put it on DVD.
Doing it this way keeps members happy, as well as my bank account.
