I need help, especially if you're on a dial-up connection!

I'm digitizing my new tv commercials to post on my website, and it's hard to find people on different providers & connections & operating systems to test them.

So, if you have a minute, could you click my links and answer a few questions either here or via my email to help me optimize them for the web?

I really appreciate the help!!!

--> http://www.paulapatrice.com/paula/vidtest/AprilAnthem.mov

--> here are the questions:

1- is the load time of the video faster/slower/about average than you are used to?

2- is the video pixelated or is the quality good?

3- is the video a good size?

4- what player did the video open in, and is that your default video player? (for example, Quicktime, Windows Media Player, etc..)

5- did you get an error, and if so, what?

6- And in general, what speed is your connection? (dial-up, cable, dsl, molasses...)

THX AGAIN!!!

[ edit- my email is ppatrice at paulapatrice dot com ] but i'll be refreshing this page obsessively if you want to post here...

Might want to add a link to the .mov player at apple.

I'll be posting them on my website once I get 'em formatted nicely... with the suggested link (it's there now).
Still some kinks to work out.

a few people had this problem.

the whole point of this testing is so i can find a format that works for everybody. so thx thx thx again.

i'm going to run a new format and see if it's more compatible. (there's 12+ formats for me to choose from...)
