Question 1

What is video bandwidth and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Video bandwidth

Bandwidth usage, transfer or you can call it simply as traffic. These are the terms used to determine how much data is transferred to the people who are watching the videos. The Panda Video plans have the storage and traffic as central points of choice (in addition to other advantages).

After the file is sent to Panda, the video undergoes a conversion and the files generated after the upload are [stored](/en-us/article/how-the-video-storage-space-1gt1eft-works /) and thus are available for viewing. Conversion is a necessary process to generate the different versions/qualities.

Depending on the user's connection and, mainly, on the bandwidth available at that moment, the player adapts for the best viewing of these converted files. Thus, there can be speed change (available files) while viewing the video without interruption. This is a feature that is widely used in any video streaming service and is available for your videos on Panda automatically.

Users of different speeds access files depending on the connection

The best bandwidth adaptation is done by the HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) protocol that delivers small pieces of the video to combine a fast playback of various qualities for the same user. That's why many times when starting a video it starts with a

Question 2

How does the video storage space work?

Accepted Answer

Video storage

Storage, or storage, is the space available for your videos to be hosted with Panda. It's important to say that when uploading a video, we need to save the different quality versions of it, so users can watch it in different ways depending on their Internet connection speed.

Our plans are based on storage (used space) and traffic. Read more about how traffic works in plans.

For example, assuming you upload a video in 1080p, we will have to generate the different versions of the video such as 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p and 1080p. It is important to say that no upscale is done, if a 720p video is uploaded, the qualities generated are up to 720p. It is also worth mentioning that, by default, all accounts have 1080p as maximum quality. It is possible to enable up to 4K if the original file has this quality.

In this way, a 1080p file uploaded should take up a few times more of the original storage.

Uploaded videos need to be converted into multiple formats

The consumption of people who watch the video of each of the formats counts towards the plan traffic.

Very slow connections: 240p and 360p
Mobile connections: 480p
Broadband: 720p, 1080p or greater

It is important to say that the speeds of the connections above are

Question 4

Accepted Answer

How is Panda Video more secure than Vimeo?

You spend time and money creating your course on the Internet and some malicious people download your content to make it available for free, resell it on the Internet or even make it available for download in a group of friends.

Question 5

How to watch Panda videos in offline mode?

Accepted Answer

How to make the video available offline?

It is important to say that, for security reasons, we do not make it available to download the MP4 file in an open way. This is an important feature to consider if you want to protect your content. In some services, as we already mentioned in Vimeo's lack of security, it is simple (even too much) to access and download the MP4 file and make it available within an application to its users.

The MP4 file (original) can be downloaded through the API, but it should never be used to make the download available to your user. This should not be done as your API Key must be kept securely. Anyone with access to your key can run other API commands to manage your video library. Therefore, the API Key should not be placed in frontend or mobile applications as it is possible to read this information even if it is the compiled binary.

What is the safe way to make the video available offline?

The best way is by accessing the streaming HLS file itself. In this way your application will download the video file that is already available to the public, with the possibility of properly reading the best quality among other things, as explained how [traffic](/pt-br/article/o-que -and-video-traffic-ckj2on/) and storage.
