Sorenson can squish 160X120 movies with compressed (IMA) or PureVoice
16-bit 22K sound (mono) to less than 100K per second (sometime
considerably
less) with quite a good picture quality. I don't have my movies up yet,
but will soon. Don't forget that these movies will also stream, so size
is
not so much of an issue as long as the connection is fast/clean enough
to
accommodate your data stream. Wish I could tell you more, but I'm not
quite far enough along in the process.
As a repeat of my previous mail, a registered copy of QuickTime 3 will
do
all this for you for $30 (as will Media Cleaner, with a little more
control, for somewhat less than the $600 Sorenson charges for their
codec
alone).
