And that 25MB for an 8 minute movie is for youtube reduced quality size.
befor I sent them to youtube they were each 90MB mpg files.
So unless you apply some tight controls you will be using huge bandwidth for video streaming. A 60 minute program streamed from BBC IPlayer is approx 300MB.
So thats about 5MB a minute. i.e. you must get your frame rates and compression done well to get reasonable quality and file sizes.

And read the small print very carefully in any third party site you use for hosting video because whilst they all seem to offer unlimited amounts of bandwidth, it is not for streaming video.
