Hi All. I'm looking for ideas on the best way to implement some streaming video. I'm setting up a website that has 4 demo videos that need to be streamed but they are 20MB each. All the tutorials I've read on streaming says the files should be under a MB. These videos have already been edited way down (they started at 200MB). This isn't a high volume site maybe one or two users at a time. To just embed them in the source is going to take forever to view. Any ideas on a better way? Thanks.

Max Streaming Video Size?
- Thread starter Nina2001
- Start date
Streaming video is never embedded in a page. The video file is placed on the server and "streamed" to the web page. The file size is entirely up to your hosting company. If you are hosting under an "average e-commerce site" plan, be aware that with file sizes like yours, it won't take too many users requesting the videos before you start to exceed your bandwidth.
