Hey, I was just wanted a few questions answered:

1, How do I add a videos to my site, where a user clicks play and then can watch the video but not download it. (Theres probably a really easy answer to this.)
2, How much bandwidth will streaming a movie take? The file is about 400mb I suppose its dependant on how many people watch it?

Thats about it for now, Just so you guys know....I use dreamweaver to edit/create my html pages on which i want to add my video stream.

Cheers :)

Streaming video can be done in flash using the FLV tool. Go to macromedia.com for more info.
