streaming advice

Streaming Media is the term given to a continuous supply of audio or video data.

Streaming media files over the internet has the distinct advantage that unlike more traditional media files, users can start viewing them often almost instantly without having to download the full file.

The player software on the user's computer decodes the compressed stream as it arrives through the user's internet connection.

There are two types of streaming media:

LIVE STREAMING

When an event is happening in real time (similar to watching the news on TV)

ON DEMAND STREAMING

When an event has been pre-recorded (similar to watching a video or DVD)
