Re: iWeb quicktimes are slow

What's your father in law's internet connection speed?
If they're only taking a few seconds on my system and apparently for you too, you may be OK.
Data rate and duration have a big impact on load speed. Your clips are short. I haven't checked the encoded data rate yet. That's a setting you have control over in Quicktime Pro as well as Compressor.
Unless you're in a rural area or are targeting people in economic disadvantaged areas, you'd have to assume that any professional looking to hire you is going to have a reasonably fast internet connection. Generally if it loads fast on a 1500kbps (1.5 mbps) internet connection you should be OK but that's only my opinion. Generally a data rate of 800-1200kbps should be fine in that case.
