my monthly internet usage is nearing 100% and i just wanted to know approx how much megabytes a streaming vid (youtube, megavideo, veoh etc) of 20-25 mins takes up

its the 12th of the month and its almost used up? wow man, get it together.

i'd say it'd be about 150MB maybe? idk what youre streaming from, quality, etc...

It's not easy to know exactly how much bandwidth you're using by streaming video from sites like those, because the rate of conversion, quality and algorithm can all play a part on the size of the video. For a long time, a great number of Fansubs released ~170 megabyte episodes that typically ran 20-24 minutes and had respectable quality. Once you upload it to a streaming site, that quality is reduced by quite a bit - after all, the idea here is to reduce the size of the video enough that you CAN stream it with some level of decency.

With that said, I highly doubt it that a 25-minute video from, say, Youtube, is 150 megabytes. My wild wild guess is that it's much lower than that, probably in the 20-50 megabyte range tops. I'm fairly sure you can find information on the conversion rate for the popular streaming sites elsewhere on the Web if you're really interested.

For a 24 minute video on Youtube, the file sizes should be something like the following:

Youtube 360p x264 FLV: ~120MB
Youtube 480p x264 FLV: ~170MB
Youtube 720p x264 MP4: ~375MB
