6-10 minutes because of high value of rewatching the movie anytime.

Agreed with 6-10. We dont have long attention spans, nor do we appreciate shitty frags and big downloads. Less is more.

I can watch bsx2 and iT2 straight through without getting tired of them. just depends on how good the movie is and if the editing keeps you interested.

15-20

A year ago I would have said >21 mins, but now i have watched so many movies, I admit that I loose interest very fast if the movie is not omfg. So now 16-20 is ok, but only if content and editing are worth it.

Alcohol is the answer, but I can't remember the question!

I voted 11-15 as its a sort of middle of the range length, I can sit through 20minute movies but its all down to the content and effort. Defrag revolution for example i happily sat through it and enjoyed it, infact the time flew by, because the skills and editing both appealed to me.

I dont really download videos that havent had at least some thought put into them so i generally end up satisfied regardless of length.

If the content is good >21
Ift its mixed (some good, some not so good frags) > 11-15
If the content is bad 0 ;D

I dont like <10 minutes movies as much as i like >15 minutes movies, because they only have ~5-6 mins of fragging :)

I voted 11-15, seems like a good balance, but as others have said, I can very easily sit through >20 mins if the movie is put togther properly with good editing/frags.

15 minutes is enough...

That's a bit of an hard question but i'd be for 6-10 mn. Imho this is at first the perfect lenght to make you want to watch the movie in question again because most of the time if the vid is short, then the editor takes the time to edit it descently. And plus as others people said, that's really hard to keep somebodys attention more than 10 mn if the movie doesn't have something really special.

Id have to say as long as the movie needs to be. So that can be an hour if so desired by the creators, it just has to hold the audiances attention, so of hte movie is an hour and it sux, well then noone will watch. So its all up to the creator i think :]

I think, 15 - 20 mins is ideal, because if I begin to watch a 10 min vid, it ends before it began.
Just look at the GNA UT2k4 movie, which runs over half an hour and it's just great or the Q3A Trickjumping-movie from the "Polish Trickz Center" which is called is called "Thugz!".

sry for my english, but i'm german, so...

6-10 / 11-15 or about as long as a Quake3:Arena 1v1 match is fine. 20 minutes is a long azz time, and it will probably lose my interest. I seem to skip to the parts that I like, if it's 20 minutes long.

On the otherhand 6-10 or 11-15 has some playback value, and I'll probably watch it again in repeat mode.

(there's my $.02)

Depends on a lot of stuff.. not only the quality of footage, editing and other ways to keep it interesting, but also on the viewer. I don't expect a Q3 player to enjoy a 35 minute long instagib movie (GNA), but I know the instagib community doesnt mind at all.
Generally I'd say max. length for a movie (with footage that is appealing to me) would be 20/25 minutes.
