What kind of video is this?  The Video Conferencing Roundtable was captured using a video camera and then digitized using software tools from Real.  Sessions are broadcast using negotiated streaming.  Your browser examines the rate at which you are receiving data and tells the video web server to use this information to adjust the quality of what is being sent.  A slow modem connection will receive a 28kB/sec data stream--very low quality.
