Faster Way To View Video Online
There is a difference in streaming video and downloaded video being played on a computer system. When we download a video clip the system will first download the entire sequence of the video, save it to the hard disk and then replay it through the relevant media player. Streaming video is the technique of playing the video on the relevant software as and when the video files arrive through the network. These are long sequence's of moving images sent across the network in compressed format and are uncompressed by the special player software on the system as the sequence arrives. Streaming media is nothing but video accompanied by sound. Streaming video or media facilitates viewers to view the media as it arrives instead of having to wait for the full file to arrive or be downloaded. This is especially frustrating and time consuming if the video clip is too large. So the large files can be viewed as and when they arrive at the system.
In order to view streaming video the system will need to have a special software installed that can recognize and playback the streaming video on the computer. This is software called Realplayer or media player or something relating to media in most cases. These media players send the video to the display screen and the sound to the speakers of the system as they arrive. Some streaming video files do not require any media player and use the integrated player using the web browser to replay the files.
Some of the major streaming video media technologies are RealSystem G2 from RealNetwork, Microsoft Windows Media Technologies this includes Microsoft's NetShow Services and Theater Server, and VDO. Microsoft's has adopted an approach that uses the standard MPEG compression algorithm for streaming video. The other approaches of replaying media utilize proprietary algorithms. These programs that do the compression and decompression are sometimes called the codec, short for coder and decoder. Microsoft's technology offers streaming audio at a transfer rate that can reach up to 96 Kbps and streaming video transfer rate that can reach up to 8 Mbps for the NetShow Theater Server. However, for most Web users, the streaming video will be limited to the data rates of their Internet connection such as an ISDN connection, which can deliver up to 128 Kbps. Microsoft's streaming media files are in are transferred in the Advanced Streaming Format or ASF.
Streaming video is usually sent from prerecorded video files stored on some system. However, video and sound can also be distributed as part of a live broadcast "feed." In a live broadcasting technology, the video and audio signal are compressed digitally and the signal transmitted from a special Web server that is able to do multicast, sending the same file to multiple users at the same time.
