Sorry, calculations were based on the original video size and not on the 
flash player applet size, which is what matters. Here are some more 
accurate results, based on the usual 640x350x30fps youtube flash applet:

X_COLOR_DEPTH=32:
Bandwidth=640x350x30x32=215.040.000, i.e. up to 4 clients on gigabit

X_COLOR_DEPTH=16
Bandwidth=640x350x30x16=107.520.000, i.e. up to 9 clients on gigabit

Flash replacer plugin which uses XVideo which always uses 12bpp and 
depends on the original video size instead of the applet size
(https://addons.mozilla.org/el/firefox/addon/161869/):
Bandwidth=320x240x30x12=27.648.000, i.e. up to 36 clients on gigabit

XVideo playback needs the same bandwidth on fullscreen videos too, but 
of course on bigger original video resolutions that quickly increases.
Unfortunately those plugins have other problems and don't always work.

Let's hope browsers support XVideo as an HTML5 video playback option. :)
