Hi Minstrel, you sweetie (I still owe you an email)
Having a guy last long enough is pretty doggone easy... it's all about the threat, baby!
J/K lol
If it were up to me (tho, it is, isn't it?), I'd make the vids even longer.. 10 mins +, but I gotta take into consideration the dial-up folks, so I try to stick with the happy medium for the time being.
In a perfect world, everyone would have super fast connections, and personally, I'd suggest upgrading from dial-up to high speed to anyone/everyone (if you can) because the future of video is on the move, and video cameras are improving dramatically to offer greater quality (greater quality-> (+ longer clips) ->larger file size = faster connection needed). I've got a few irons in the fire over here & it'll be a costly investment, but well worth it in the realm of video.
xoxo,
Anya
