Just my 2 cents... I would have thought it would be much easier (for the PHP developer) to limit the number of (requests for) whole video clips, rather than trying to measure the total bandwidth per se and limiting to partial video clips. Also, getting blocked part way through watching a video is only going to annoy the end user.

you should talk to your webhost. there are apache-modules (and probably for most other httpds, too) to do that kind of thing, but they'll have to be set up by your host.

Have you considered what happens when you get users that are coming in through a proxy server (e.g. AOL) or NAT'd gateway?

so there is no way ican do the by useing phph.ini or .htaccess?

So you are ignoring the reasons not to do this?

Perhaps the size of the videos can be cut in half.
