[Techtalk] Quicktime file size

[raen7 at ihug.com.au]

If you are streaming for 56k modem in qt player you may drop frames right down 
and sacrifice bit rate and resolution and get it down to well under 1MB. You 
should visit a few web sites and send your friend the URL of the sort of 
quality you have in mind.

If your streaming in mpeg4 for high end broadband you can stream to dvd 
quailty!

I would not be worrying about size but quality and accessibility.

If you want more expert info go to mplayer site. It is amazing.
