[photo-3d] download stereo animations?

I have some stereoscopic animations that I am considering putting 
online for others to download.  (This is planned for next weekend.) 
I am looking for input as to file size and format.

The problem is, they are big.  At 360x240, the files run between 1.7 
and 7.0 megabytes.  And these are the *smaller* compressed versions I 
made for downloading.

I hate to put giant files online that are too big for most people to 
download.  On the other hand, I hate to compress them so harshly that 
they look like junk.  Which is why I am asking the following 
questions:

--What is the largest file you personally are willing to download?

--Can you view AVI files?  Can you view Quicktime files?

--Do you prefer anaglyphs or interleaved format for animations?

--Would you rather view really short, high-quality animations?  Or 
would you rather see longer animations with artifacts and degradation?

Please respond OFFLINE to smile@xxxxxxxxxxxx  I plan to do this on 
Friday so the files are available over the weekend.  Let me know 
today.

Thanks,

Tom

PS: I will show the full quality, full size versions of these 
animations at the Third Friday Stereo Dinner in Manhattan on Sept 15.
