Using .flv files in your site

[samyak_bhuta]

Hi All,

I am in process of making a site where .flv videos will be stored and available for streaming. My worries on .flv streaming as questions ...

(1) Is it possible for single .flv file being streamed and viewed by multiple user at the same time ?

(2) How CPU intensive the .flv streaming will be ? Will it be ok that 10 users are viewing the video at same time or I will start getting CPU Exceed Errors.

Your answer will largerly determine if my shared hosting account on Bluehost will work for me or I have to go for dedicated hosting.

Waiting for your answer,

Thanks in Advance,

Regards,

Samyak

flash file is usually small and compact.

flash is downloaded and play at user browser. will be less impact the cpu usage.

bottleneck should be at the connection limit and download time.
since this is not scripting or processing intentive apps, 10 viewing should be fine.
