Hello, On my website, I have an 8 minute flash video that is 13MB. Of course, your size may vary based on the resolution of the video. Let’s say that your 5 minute video was 10MB, for easy calculations. Here is what I estimate: 10MB x 100,000 viewers x 31 days = 31,000,000MB or 31TB per month?? Wow, that seems like a lot but the math looks right to me. What do you think? While I have done some periodic flash videos on my website, I am interested in creating daily blog videos too. If you care to talk more about this, my blog info is below. You can contact me there.
