Many thanks for your reply.

I'm currently hesitant about using video. I rent a server which holds
several websites for my clients. Two clients are now asking about using
video (about 2 minutes) to demonstrate their processes and services. Unsure
as to how many surfers will view the videos I am worried that this may put
my combined bandwidth over the agreed limit and cost me. My clients, of
course, don't wish to pay any more (sound familiar?).

Any advice from those who have already faced this situation would be
welcomed.
