    Re: New PBS videos about Clyde Butcher

    With mY DSL it indicated a +6 min loading time. Cancelled it before it was thru. I would really like to see them. I got to know Clyde when I lived in SW Florida. He's one of the main reasons I shoot 4x5, eventhough he thinks 4x5 is too small. He consideres a 5x7 a Point and Shoot.

    Well, one of those videos is over 80 megs, which is huge, and the Windows Media Player opens to almost full screen size here.

    First of all, it's a waste to put a file that large on your website, really bad practice. Remember, if it doesn't load in five seconds, people will leave. Secondly, WMV is always the wrong choice for web media, period.

    Flash, such as youtube uses, is one of the fastest-loading video applications for the web. Quicktime, using hinted compression (I think it's called) and Sorenson Squeeze is probably my favorite method. QT is just so reliable and everyone has it.

    OK, so I dowloaded the video to my hard drive and it plays from there.

    Did a Google search and found that many are having the same problem with this...
