it’s not really the host that has any impact on the quality of the video – it’s how you encode/compress it to begin with – once you do that, where you serve it from is not relevant at all…
(sorry if i’m not following your question – but the only thing a host can impact is bandwidth and time it takes to d/l the file – not the quality of the video itself)

it’s a pretty simple math thing – say you have a 2mb movie file and your isp allows you 1gb of monthly transfers. a gb is 1024 mb, so you could have 512 downloads of your movie before you broke the monthly limit. this of course is not a perfect example, because your site has other bandwidth usages like the other pages on the site, your email, etc. etc., but the above is a basic way for you to figure out how much you need. if you have a ton of videos and have a very popular website, you can add up on the bandwidth pretty quickly, but if you have your demo reel and are looking for a job, you can probably get by ok…
hope that helps!
