Streaming
video online is similar to streaming audio and is the ability to watch
video files on the Internet without the requirement to download them
first.
Streaming video allows someone to
watch video files on your
computer that are in real-time, just like listening to a television
station using your TV.
This is a perfect
reproduction of
video files and results in the non-introduction of noise, because you
are not downloading the video into your computer before watching the
video.
The quality of streaming video online is
superior to recording
videos before watching them on DVD or VHS.
Streaming
video online is a technique that transfers video data in one continuous
stream over the Internet. The advantage of streaming video is that,
unlike earlier non-streaming technologies, the video begins to play on
the users computer even before it is finished streaming from the server.
Streaming
video software allows for variations in streaming rates and
the type of
modem used by the user. Typical modems are Dial-up, DSL, and Cable. The
streaming video software stores streaming data that is received to
quickly for play at the correct speed.
However, if
the streaming video
arrives too slowly the software is unable to compensate. This results
in a choppy picture and sound, which is typical with Dial-up modems.
If
you are away from home and want to watch a show or the local news to
find out what is happening in your home town, you can use one the
multitude of streaming video online sources to select and
watch the TV
station of your choice.
Online streaming video allows you to view a video in real-time
without the need to record the
program first. The show is downloaded to you and goes through a
buffering process to allow enough the video to be viewed.
While
you are
watching the video, your computer or other device continues to download
the remainder of the video to avoid jumpy or jerky motions. The video
is presented to you as if you are sitting in front of your television.
Online streaming
video is considered to be one of the best additions to the
Internet. Gone are the days of being limited to what your cable or
local stations want you to see.
You can view videos
from all over the
world. This access to the world provides different aspects to global
events compared to what you may see on typically media outlets.
