bandwidth

[diabolo]

what counts as bandwidth?

if I embed a youtube video into a webpage...would the video count as part of my bandwidth...

 

[Blazer9131]

I'm not even sure if your allowed to do that o.o'
You might be cause its not hosted on x10. So yah never mind that.

No, the only bandwidth you will use is the size of the webpage, not the size of the video.

If the page your embedded video if 60 kb, then your account will accumulate 60kb every time someone access the page.

No the video is from YouTube so its not counted as your website bandwidth. Correct me if I'm wrong.


But I think its illegal to post YouTube videos if you don't have the rights to copy it. And may result it banning your account. Again correct me if I'm wrong

Some one experienced with this issue please confirm this .

Youtube gives out rights for anyone to post the video on their site, They hand out embed tags so it would seem so. Like manzoor, correct us if we're wrong o.o

thanks guys...this was on my mind for so long..I wasn't sure if the bandwidth counted..now I kno..and hope I can remember it.....

so now can sometell me if we are allowed to post YouTube/any other video hosting site(Veoh)...and what if they are our own videos that we uploaded or we have written consent from the author/owner

Yeah, YouTube has embed codes placed next to each video for you to place anywhere you want.

 

[Blazer9131]

Yes, so they are allowed. OH! Arsonistx, grats on your 200th post soon! One more to go! =D

YouTube covers themselves from liability by saying that corpyrighted matterial isn't to be uploaded, but that doesn't mean the matterial isn't copyrighted, the same goes for photobucket images. That just means they can't be sued for someone else's copyright infringment, the buck gets passed on to the person using it.

Also, any data that the server sends or receives is counted as bandwidth.

The videos you host on your site that are streamed in from another site will count as bandwidth usage. That means if you have 400 videos and 400 people watching each videos that are streaming information to and from an x10hosted site is using bandwidth. So that will eat up your bandwidth fairly quick. But if you don't believe me you can try it

The bandwidth is simply how much can be downloaded from your site every month.

 

[diabolo]

if I used frames...would that still count...like I have a top frame linking back my site and stuff, and the bottom frame is a direct link to the website

You can embeed youtube vids in your site. I asked corey and he told me that was allowed.

 

[diabolo]

i'm not worrying about being able to embed youtube videos..I already found that out if you bothered to read...but that is beside the point. I more focus on bandwidth right now
