NY Film Festival clips

The New York Times is streaming selected short films from the 43rd New York Film Festival on its Web site. They’re offering the streams at rates of 300k bit/sec or 1000k bit/sec, which I didn’t bother trying since it would probably swamp our Internet connection. Mirror Image is providing the hosting services for the videos. Would be interesting to see how many people actually watch the 1M bit/sec stream. You’d probably need a fiber to the home connection to do so with any reliability.
