Bandwith

Adding multiple Demo Clips to Web Site

[santiban]

Hello WebMasters, Im new to the board and pleased to be here.
Q: I plan on building a site for a video producer (i.e. weddings, etc) and while searching for a hosting site i came along the question of bandwith. I Really don't know how much bandwith i need in order to make this demos look good on their site.

I think ill be using about 4-5 clips.. at a good normal size.

Thanks in advance,
santiban

Hello...

well, first of all...

"at a good normal size" what exactly does it mean?

;)

What is the normal size?

how long are those videos?

About the bandwith, well, it depends if you want to stream it or just leave the people to download it, i supose that you want to stream it, so that is the reason to write "...and while searching for a hosting site...".

The site you are building wont be in your own server so it is very common that the host tells you how much bandwith you can use, but if you can choose, i think that 128 Kb will be more than enough, specially because you have to pay for this dedicated bandwith.

If is not very important to make stream, may be you can consider another solutions like let them download it or insert the videos in a flash movie and open it in a popup...

Sure there are more solutions, but may be this can work for you

Good luck

Bye
