Hello Maurice!

Yes.. testing it on a widescreen laptop, the result DOES look  
pretty good.

Streaming directly from the link sucked for me too.  Even with  
DSL, my top speed is usually 650Kbps, and the result was stop-n- 
go.  Not nice.

 MK> Just saying ...

At about 15MB and 15sec, 1MB/sec is a pretty rich expectation  
for a stream.  A down-conversion for this kind of stuff is  
probably a good idea.

Funny note: having filmed the scene on my BB, I really had no  
way to "send" the file to my server unless I were to email it to  
myself first. But that would have consumed 15MB (+30% for mime  
encoding) going up, and another 15MB coming down. So, no thanks.  
Instead, I used Bluetooth to send it to a newer laptop that I  
have. From there, I copied it onto a USB stick. Form there, I  
was able to get it on the other laptop that I prefer!  From  
there, it went up to the server via FTP.
