Having one of those 'is it just me' moments

[Dina Lerret]

I've been trying to work on a video file (authorized and legal for a
change ;-) ) and I'm getting this nagging suspicion the uploaded files
by another person are incomplete and no one is confirming the files
are complete, even though I've asked.  So, I start wondering 'is it
just me?' {g}  Those with freebie web hosting are familiar with their
server frequently limiting the amount of data uploaded in a session. 
Heck, some paid ones do that as well for 'protection'.

What makes my eyebrow quirk up further is how the file sizes keep
changing and shrinking (upload dates change, of course)... which isn't
good because these files should be huge since I was told the run time
should be an hour at high quality fullscreen (720x480).  For example,
a downloaded copy of Goblet of Fire, hypothetically speaking ;-), at
60-65% and a resolution of 640x272 compressed with a good codec takes
the file down to ~1.16gigs.

Just the other day I read a comment by another gal where she said
'vidding is an expensive hobby' and it really is because you need
massive hard drive space, for starters, if you're doing digital
editing.
