What is “encoding bandwidth” and how do you calculate usage of Encoding.com?

Total encoding bandwith is the term for tracking user's usage of our encoding system. It is the sum of all of the source media sent into encoding.com and all of the encoded media sent out of encoding.com (video in + video out = total encoding bandwidth). For example, say a user would like to enocde a 1GB .mov video file into two files (e.g Flash 9 and our iPod preset). After the encoding process, the Flash file is compressed to 220 MB and the iPod file is compressed to 110MB. The total encoding bandwidth recorded in your account would be 1.33 GB (1GB + 220MB + 110MB = 1.330 GB).
