First time writing. I don't know how to write it. Just write it down. Have time to add content.
If you do not have your own server, no bandwidth (100m exclusive above), no backstage. No resources. I suggest you not do it.
1. Server-side
It is recommended that the web and the slice source be separated from the server. The web is thrown out of the city. If copyright is checked, the web is removed at any time.
The movie server configuration does not require SCSI hard drives. 1 is low cost. 2 is not necessary. Even if you run 100m (if you have so many bandwidth resources). Ide.sata is enough.
2. Chip Source
It's usually made of rmvb. Downloading back online is 500-600kbps, some even more than 700kbps, I think the online piece 450kbps enough. But too many pieces. It's not possible to compress yourself. In particular series. So in the film quality and speed on the trade-offs.
There's an idea. Buy a large billing site account number. Download their WMV movie back. It saves a lot of effort.
3. Profit
Make a movie station how to profit. This question has always been my biggest headache.
Cost: Program. Server. All is a one-time investment. But the bandwidth. 100m what the price is. Everyone knows. At first I said. If there is no bandwidth resources, there is not enough money to give to the telecom (Netcom).
Profitability: The most direct way to do this is to start with a local Internet café. You want them to use your movies. Pay you every month. The best Internet cafes can make your monthly bandwidth money back. At least it can be flat. Then develop individual users.
The movie station is now more difficult to make a profit. But I think if we stick to it, there will be a way out.
Although the copyright is now, but China is so big, at least a few years will not be a problem.
The above is my own personal opinion. Welcome to exchange with peers.
