Thursday, December 23, 2004   Bandwidth I finally got a hold of a copy of my 8mm film from the Attack of the Fifty-Foot Reels a few months ago, and I took advantage of the slow week at work to burn some DVDs and expirement with diffrent compression codecs. I'd like to post a copy to the site so those that couldn't make it to the screening can see it, but am unsure how large of a video-file I should post. The film is about 3.5 minutes long, and I have versions from 5 gigabytes to 8 megabytes. The three main candidates for web-viewing are the crappy-quality 8MB version or the nice-looking but odd file-format 22MB Mpeg4 version. Is 22MB too big for you folks to download? Is it too big for me to saddle my free web-host with? Do just bite the bullet and publish the 8MB version? Any comments? posted by JMV | 12/23/2004 07:11:00 PM |		Octopus Hat Pics From Flickr Other’s Blogs Julie Matt Holohan John Forrest Mary Matt Hals Iason Chun Meli Paul Greg Potter Greg Flores Catherine Links BoingBoing Blogging.la 43 Folders Lifehacker archives < 01/01/2003 - 02/01/2003 02/01/2003 - 03/01/2003 03/01/2003 - 04/01/2003 04/01/2003 - 05/01/2003 05/01/2003 - 06/01/2003 06/01/2003 - 07/01/2003 07/01/2003 - 08/01/2003 08/01/2003 - 09/01/2003 09/01/2003 - 10/01/2003 10/01/2003 - 11/01/2003 11/01/2003 - 12/01/2003 12/01/2003 - 01/01/2004 01/01/2004 - 02/01/2004 02/01/2004 - 03/01/2004 03/01/2004 - 04/01/2004 04/01/2004 - 05/01/2004 05/01/2004 - 06/01/2004 06/01/2004 - 07/01/2004 07/01/2004 - 08/01/2004 08/01/2004 - 09/01/2004 09/01/2004 - 10/01/2004 10/01/2004 - 11/01/2004 11/01/2004 - 12/01/2004 12/01/2004 - 01/01/2005 01/01/2005 - 02/01/2005 02/01/2005 - 03/01/2005 03/01/2005 - 04/01/2005 04/01/2005 - 05/01/2005 05/01/2005 - 06/01/2005 06/01/2005 - 07/01/2005 07/01/2005 - 08/01/2005 08/01/2005 - 09/01/2005 09/01/2005 - 10/01/2005 10/01/2005 - 11/01/2005 11/01/2005 - 12/01/2005 12/01/2005 - 01/01/2006 01/01/2006 - 02/01/2006 02/01/2006 - 03/01/2006 03/01/2006 - 04/01/2006 04/01/2006 - 05/01/2006 05/01/2006 - 06/01/2006 06/01/2006 - 07/01/2006 07/01/2006 - 08/01/2006 08/01/2006 - 09/01/2006 09/01/2006 - 10/01/2006 11/01/2006 - 12/01/2006 01/01/2007 - 02/01/2007 02/01/2007 - 03/01/2007		Me, Elsewhere My flickr page My Space Profile ATOM Feed Comments Feed OctopusHat Super-feed!
