Hi,
A colleague is working on a project where his videos are being shown to a class of school children. Each child is going to be at a workstation and each child gets a customized video playlist. Videos are probably between 2-4 min each, Flash format, progressively downloaded. The company providing the content contracted with another vendor to do the encoding. They encoded at 400x300 500kbps, 30 frames a sec. So the problem is the school only has a t1 line. There will be 20-25 children per class and the T1 can't keep up. The videos were originally shot for broadcast and keeping onscreen text readable is a concern.
Anyone know what bitrate we would have to use to deal with the real world capacity of a T1 and up to 25 students.
