Bandwidth Question at DVinfo.net

Alan Van Vliet · November 21st, 2006, 08:29 AM

I am using very short instructional video clips (4 - 12 seconds) on the Web. Presently encoding with Quicktime Pro 7 with H.264.

If I set these clips up to loop, do you get "charged" for the bandwidth of one playing, or as many times (as long) as they are played continuously?

Thanks for any thoughts.

It depends on whether it fits in the cache. I fired up my copy of Quicktime to see that the download cache is 100MB, which should be enough for just about anything I have ever watched.
