I have a question related to progressive Flash video or any
video for that matter. If my encoded bit rate for my video is at
80Kilobits per second and the total availalbe bandwidth available
is lets say 160Kbps, when my video is requested will the download
speed be based on full available network bandwidth or will my video
download be based on the encoded bit rate regardless of total
bandwidth available. I am bit confused about actually download
speed versus how much data is needed to play a second of video. The
reason I ask is I am trying to keep my bit rates at a percentage of
overall network bandwidth. Obviously I don't want to encode the
video with higher bit rates than available bandwidth per second but
I am really trying to understand what is happening with the
opposite scenario. When my video bit rate is cleary under the total
bandwidth available per second will the file download (not worried
about play) be based on total network bandwidth? Hope this makes
sense.
