Hello all, I know the difference between streaming and progressive video. Whenever I make changes to my page that includes a streaming video on it, I make sure I pause the video so that i'm not using too much of my bandwidth. I just want to see the changes I made to my page instead. However, even though I pause/stop the video as soon as it begins, I notice that my bandwidth usage jumps up by over 1GB. Does anyone know why this happens? Again, I make sure I stop the video as soon as it begins. Thanks.
Smooth Streaming will buffer a small proportion of the video, then go back to it's normal bandwidth requirements. This can be set in the manifest file. See the IIS media services documentation.
