    It might be better if you just gave a resolution instead of drawing something. People with different text size settings in their browser will see different sizes.

    The only way to get really good quality video ono the web while keeping the file size at a minimum is to use software that is designed to compress cleanly – such as Cleaner or Sorenson Squeeze.

    I have my reel at 320×240 at 2.5 minutes and it’s only 10 MB thanks to squeeze.

    Otherwise you have to use codecs or formats that while maybe somewhat clean or small, aren’t on a lot of computers.
