.WMV for 56k modem

 

.WMV for broadband LAN

 
         
The version on the left is in .WMV (Windows Media Video) format, saved for 56k modem. Hence its heavily compressed appearance when you play it. The size of the file is 616 KB. Compare the quality of an alternative version of the file on the right, saved for broadband LAN. The same clip, still in .WMV format, now creates a file size of over 30 MB. Don't attempt to play the right-hand version unless you are on Barry's LAN or have a broadband connection. (On our LAN, however, it's possible to play both clips simultaneously to compare quality directly.)
