Things about Video Streaming

There are things that I think I need to say about online video streaming.

Common misconception: "Online video is not considered as download. So I can stream and watch a movie without download it in order to save bandwidth."

But the fact: streaming video uses up bandwidth just like download, which use up bandwidth as well. The used bandwidth exactly same as the bandwidth it takes to download the same video. If you watch video online like on youtube or google video or any other website with computer in uni might get you into problem.
So, it's recomended to watch online video using your home internet.

The second thing is that, you might want to consider downloading the video if you will load the streaming video up more than few times. So that you wont waste too much bandwidth on loading the same video up everytime you revisit the video.

By the way all the video I've uploaded so far is cut down on quality to reduce the file size, so that you guys can load it faster, save up some bandwidth and ppl with slower internet connection can actually watch the videos. I might redo the uploaded video into better quality in the same file size and upload it in the future but not so soon. Still have a lot of videos to go because these video might be linked to the upcoming new church website too. But if you want the high quality version video you can get from me directly.

Ta!
