I'm not sure how correct my next statement is, but my understanding 
would be that VCD mpeg files (close to VHS quality, MPEG1) have a 
standard encoding rate of 1.15Mbps (??) so theoretically should be a 
good match to stream over 2mb circuits.

If you need a vcd or two (you could also try svcd which is mpeg2, can't 
remember the exact encoding rates svcd uses, but you can see it in 
TMPGEnc), I've got about 200Gb on my Linux box (set up with VLS and 
Video on demand) - mainly TV episodes I download from the US coz in Aus 
we either don't get them or we're way behind.

Email me privately and I'll organise with you to get a couple of files 
from me by ftp or something.
