It is always better to Select a higher configuration Dedicated server for Streaming Media as it requires more resources and it improves performance.
Yes I agree with Carl about the selection of dedicated server, but why put more pressure on the pocket. Start with a plan whose resources are just above that is demanded by your site.Check for the performance, upgrade only if you feel the necessity,else you would waste the server resources and your money as well.But choosing a web host that offers flexibility is important. You should be able to upgrade plans without causing any downtime.
A dedicated server would provide the best performance of your website and would majorly help in the success of the website.
