You can now retrieve your spot the same day using our web based MPEG retrieval system. In fact, we've had some cases where up to six different revisions have been seen, proofed, and approved all in the same day. Try doing that with FedEx. It would take a week! Using our real-time MPEG encoding system your spot can go from our editing suite to your office in less than an hour.

Brian Paddock will be happy to set up an MPEG account for you so you can get started right away. And best of all, there's no special equipment or software needed. Almost all of today's computers can play back the MPEG encoding format. If you'd like, you can even try it right now.

System Recommendations
While almost any computer can use the MPEG retrieval system, some do it better than others. The following is a list of reccommendations for your system.

Internet
We reccommend an ISDN (128K) or better Internet connection. This would include xDSL, cable, satellite, T1, T3, DS3, etc.

The speed of your Internet connection will directly affect your MPEG retrieval times. Faster is, of course, better.

28.8, 33.6, or 56K modems are not reccommended.

Mac
Just about any ole PowerPC will do. The higher end Quadras are capable as well. Some older Macs can be upgraded with a MPEG acceleration card that will improve playback.

PC
Just about any Pentium-II will do. A regular Pentium-233 is about as slow as I would go. Also on the PC side there are a number of economically priced video cards which support MPEG acceleration. With one of these cards you can do playback on a Pentium-90!
