Periodic broadcast(PB), one of the Near-VOD techniques, can service an unlimited number of clients simultaneously with bounded service latency. Most work on PB has only focused on network bandwidth and client buffer requirements. However, disk bandwidth needs to be considered in order to minimize the server's cost. In this paper, we propose a generalized data placement scheme for PB servers. Unlike existing schemes devised for a specific P-B technique, our scheme does not depend on the PB techniques, and it is devised considering the variation in disk load induced by VBR-encoded videos.
