I just created a new Quicktime stream for the experimental movie Elephants Dream, that you can play if you got a good Internet connection, of course. You NEED a 8Mbps dedicated Internet connection, which is too fast for most North American users, but a breeze for all European users.

Play it here

Stream info:
- 1920×1080 (1080p)
- 24fps
- H.264
- 6Mbps average (7Mbps peak)
- AAC 5.1 audio, 320Kbps average

Why? Because I can, and to have fun compressing a movie, practicing the latest technologies, to see how Quicktime cope with all that data, how my computer plays these, how hinted movies work, and so on. Also because this option was lacking from the official web site, they "only" gave a 1024px version of the movie in stereo for Quicktime, when everyone knows it can do much better.

Update (2008-02-07) I created a new version, without hinting, suitable for downloading, for all of you that don't have the proper "Internets" to access my streaming goods. Same stuff, same compression, same file, meant for downloading or "casually playing", without stressing your connection. Play it here.
