Really? Is this unstated resource consumption saturated before your bandwidth is? If you expect your users to actually watch your whole video then streaming isn't really required to save bandwidth and so you can avoid javascript with a simple html5 <video> element and just httpd is required. Otherwise why not host it on youtube and just add the link to your site? -- KISSIS - Keep It Simple So It's Securable
