    Will removing embedded Window's Media from my site save me bandwidth?

    If so a significant amount?

          Embedded versus not embedded won't effect bandwidth.
          Having a link to the plain mpeg or wmv file will make customers
          happy, though, since embdedding doesn't work reliably across
          different platforms and browsers.

          wmv, mpeg, quicktime, and the current version of Flash all use the
          same video format under the hood, just with different packaging,
          so they'll all use the same bandwidth. (Plus or minus a few bytes for
          the packaging).

                          I figure non embedded would use less because the surfer downloads it once and then can watch it 100x on his computer without running your bw everytime.

                              true, and if you offer downloadable clips, some will only download the first and last ones.
