Thanks!

I exported the file from Avid as an uncompressed Quicktime and then compressed it in Sorenson Squeeze as a 9mbps file which had a file size of 185mb. Vimeo then re-encoded the file once it was uploaded to optimise it for streaming. I've really no idea why a 2 minute file would come out at 500mb. Is it your original file that's 500mb or the version on Vimeo?

Thanks for your kind comments!

I did originally cut the montage to SOAD's "**** the System" and it worked much better, but the results of the test screening suggested I should make it more family friendly. The feedback also precipitated the removal of the transvestite burlesque scene, but don't worry, I'll email it over to you as I know it'll be right up your street.
