I wondered if there is a formula one can use to calculate the cost of the bandwidth used for streaming sites.
I am interested to know the approx cost of the bandwidth used for a movie of 90 minutes to be downloaded or viewed by a surfer as I am trying to workout a costing per download for a movie site to be launched.
I have 100 movies which I want to make available to surfers and just interested in covering the bandwidth costs and credit card transaction costs only.
please post the quality the videos are in (64kbit, 128kb, 1Mbit/s...)
the question isn't how long the movie is - the question is how big it is. if the movie is 400mb, that's your bandwidth use right there. if your movie is 1 gig, that's how much bandwidth it will use per download.
if you pay 12 cents per gig, the 400mb movie will cost around 5 cents for the download and 12 cents if the movie is a gig. if you pay 50 cents per gig, the first movie will cost around 20 cents to download and the second will cost 50 cents.
