Can someone check a short video for me online?

[Dale Hubbard]

Hi,

I'm currently in Malaysia and my bandwidth sucks. Could someone in the USA check out this video and let me know if it plays without excessive buffering and stuttering? Is it reasonably smooth?

Out of interest, it was taken wih the new Nokia N95.

Back in the UK it seemed a little slow considering it's such a short video. I had to wait a while for it to load before playing. My broadband speed is good at 512 kb/s. Out of interest what size is the file that you have uploaded?

Creature, yes, my b/w here is supposed to be 1 Mbps but seems to be around 512Kbps. That file is about 3.5MB. It just keeps buffering here. The guys in the States are having no problems because that server is in the USA. Malaysia and UK are a little too far I think for a decent viewing on low b/w. Thanks for looking.

Out of interest, that 3.5MB seems big. I just got a similar length 12 second clip down to 376kb by transferring to .wmv and reducing the quality by 20% and reducing the frames per second to 15 and the size to 284 X 288. Nice results from the phone anyway. Have a good trip.

Yep, it played just fine and reasonably smooth. No buffering or stuttering.

Thanks barefoot.

@Creature:

Yeah, that was taken at the highest resoution. It can be knocked back on the phone and still looks good. Thanks matey.
