question about flash videos and bandwidth

hi there. I am selling flash videos online. However, one of my constant concerns is about bandwidth, since I operate about a dozen other small sites on my server space that hosts the videos. Let's say I have 150 megabytes worth of flash videos (20 videos at 7.5 meg) so if 10 people watched each video 1x, would that equal 1.5 gig of my monthly transfer? Please explain to me all about bandwidth as it relates to to flash video watching. I need to figure out how to have about 1 gig of macromedia flash .SWF videos online and be able to support for example, 1,000 customers/users. Is there a special type of server or company for this? or should I just use a regular unix/linux account? I can't afford to have slowdown problems, especially because some of my other sites are on the same account. I probably need a dedicated server just for the video content hosting and the bandwidth for these videos (for arguments sake, let's say 2000 people per year each watch 1 gigabyte of my .swf flash videos.) I am interested in what if any solutions there are for this, that are LONG TERM and RELIABLE! Also, briefly, if you have any ideas for password protection for video content. Currently I just lock a folder in cpanel and have 1 login, but I a would be interested in a script that can allow users to add their own user/pass to the access file or something. Short answers are fine, sorry I can't pay everyone that answers. If you post your answer now, don't complain if I don't select you as I probably get other descriptions. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
