I Am A Web Designer And Have DSL. How Can I Know If My Online WMV Movies Work For Dial Up Users?
The WMV files are 2 to 4 and a half minutes long and range from 300KB to 1.64 MB.
dialup is usually at speed of 56 kbps, roughly 5 KB per second
so about 300 KB per minute.
Your 2 min clip will take 1 minute to load, so that should work, but the other one would take over 5 1/2 miuntes to load for a 4 1/2 minute clip, so it won't stream right.
In Windows media encoder, you can specify the usage you are planning to get presets of encoding scheme.
so about 300 KB per minute.

There's a tool here called Sloppy that'll emulate whatever bandwidth you specify for exactly this kind of testing:

That page there shows a screenshot of it working under Mac OS but it's a cross-platform Java app so as long as you've got Java installed it'll work on your machine no matter what OS you're running.
