What is the effect of streaming video to internet bandwidth?
Content streaming monopolizes a lot of bandwidth. Videos especially are bandwidth "hoggers". Watching the occasional YouTube video probably isn't going to make too much difference. But streaming entire movies on sites such as Netflix will rack up broadband usage fast, which is especially important if one does not have access to unlimited broadband usage.
What can I do to make sure that I am not streaming videos that will slow my internet connection?

What computer specs must you have for good streaming video?
Most of today's laptops, netbooks and even tablets are quite capable of providing a decent quality video experience when streaming. The real dilemma is 1) Do you have a quality Internet service with fast download speed, and 2) what is the source of the video you are streaming. Many people become bent out of shape and cuss out their computer's when a streaming video stops and needs to "buffer" before it begins streaming again. In what may be a majority of cases, the problem is most likely that the server that you are streaming from has poor bandwidth or it's old and slow or heavy traffic.

How much data does streaming a movie over the Internet use?
Your question isn't quite clear so I am going to assume you mean the bandwidth used by watching streaming video. According to Rogers' Express internet package that offers 60GB of bandwidth and equates it to 700 hours of YouTube. Some simple math later we find that you can watch 11 hours and 40 minutes (approximatly) for 1GB of bandwidth.
Why when i watch streaming movies they buffer constantly on my computer?
This is almost always an indication that your Internet bandwidth is insufficient to transfer the video fast enough. You might look to see if you can select a lower bandwidth version of the video you are viewing. If you can not do this, ensure you have no other applications running that might be downloading content from the Internert. Peer to peer clients or other file downloads should be stopped before attempting to watch the video. If you are using a specific media player, you might try to look in the documentation to see if there are any settings you can change that control buffering or streaming.
