I feel the need to reply to this message from VB.  I know he likes my site 
overall, but for some reason he is a little obsessed with complaining about 
my video clips.  It is a little ridiculous, but everyone has their holdups I 
guess.

For those that have been visiting my site for seven years now, the 
technology for video encoding has changed drastically, as has the speed of 
internet connections, etc.  My site has a massive amount of content, and for 
those that haven't visited lately, my brother and I have recently completed 
a huge rebuild to the site in terms of redesign/reorganization to take 
advantage of the changing technology.

The majority of video encoding we did in the past was done using Real Medial 
Player, which was the dominant player several years ago and was universal 
for both macs and pcs.  A lot of people forget what it was like to have a 
56K modem, so I optimized the clips as much as I could and kept them at a 
small size.  They are certainly viewable, and don't suck in my opinion and I 
think it is a little presumptuous to assume that everyone feels that way VB.

The new clips I am putting on my site now are mpeg 4 QuickTime clips that 
are larger and have better compression schemes.  Their file sizes are larger 
than my old clips, but I feel that most people surf with high speed 
connections today, so that is ok.  In terms of going back and redoing the 
hundreds of clips I have on my site, that is a massive amount of work. 
Between work, school, and the time I put into improving the web-site in 
other ways and creating new content, it doesn't rank high in my concerns.

I hope this clears things up and I always appreciate any "real" suggestions 
to improve my site.  You can feel free to email me off the list, as opinions 
are usually better regulated to personal exchanges as opposed to list 
serves.
