Re: Video Server....??
Hi!
Our school uses fiber optic backbones with Fast Ethernet segments and the Video Support Team had optimized the clips for better streaming without consuming much bandwidth.
Sometimes, students do not need to play the video themselves, they can watch the movie from the projector :).
Anyway, you should first discuss with the teachers on how the video server will be used and estimate the usage. (Will they stream a VCD :P)

Hello!
I am in Hong Kong too, and am helping a hk secondary school set up
something similar.
I was wondering... what kind of hardware does the Dell server run? Do you
hit the 100M bandwidth limit easily when many people are playing the
video?
Thanks in advance,
Jason.
