Thanks for the input. I will have gone with te 856 width for now.

I did not get a lot of video so I have put up what I have. You all can go to www.challengevideos.com

I will keep a close eye on bandwidth and see how it goes. Those little google ads help cover the additional cost of bandwidth so that helps

Olivier I played around some h.264 codec stuff and was real happy with it but was concerned about the use of quicktime...yes it is a download but not a lot of folks have and then it tries to associate itself with other stuff and that makes it all crazy. For a power user that is not a problem but not all of us are power users
you are right about quicktime.. It automatically wants to play all the mpg movies too... I like the .wmv format as it's better to compress videos but I have no choice with my videos as the camera produces .mov files and I have no way of converting them to .wmv unless someone gives me a program..

JD I am a firefox user and that is where I test first. You might need to change a setting.
