Video streaming means that a user's PC is actually downloading a constant stream of video from a server on the Internet. Streaming video is available today on many Web sites in the shape of movies, news footage, earnings announcements, and sports highlights. The faster an Internet connection, the better quality the picture is. The minimum speed needed for television-quality video is 384 Kbps. Thus, DSL users will experience higher quality streaming video than dial-up modem users.

Streaming video is video that is highly compressed and in a format that allows the viewer to begin watching the video before the entire video is downloaded.

It is a technique for transferring video images over a network to a workstation so that they are processed continuously ("stream") in real time. For example, a person viewing streaming video does not have to wait for the entire video to be uploaded; rather it starts to play after a short buffering period. Streaming video also implies audio delivery.

Video streaming is a digitally encoded file that is uploaded to a server so that it can be seen on the internet. Only faculty and staff can have a file streamed from the Cal Poly Media Server. See Cal Poly Media Server for more information about the service and setting up an account.

If you would like to stream more, then we can provide you with a quote for the number of hours/minutes you need.

Yes. Streaming video requires special server software. The server must communicate with the viewer's video player to find the best speed at which to stream the file.

A stream is a way of thinking about digital information for which there may be no ending point. The most conventional form of digital information is the file. Files always have a beginning and an end, but streams may or may not, and therefore software which uses streams must not require finding the end of the file in order to process it. Streams are usually delivered in packets which are self-contained, and usually allow seeking (i.e. fast forward) for further points in the streams.

Streaming is a protocol that enables the user to watch the video shortly after clicking the link. You are requesting pieces of video as you watch it, and nothing is saved to your hard drive. By downloading a video, you must wait until the whole file is copied locally before you can watch. And you will have to remove the file yourself once you are done watching. Each protocol has its pros and cons, so the best choice depends on the type of web site or content you are offering.

Get a camera, buy some software (I use webcam32, it handles all the streaming stuff), connect to the internet and you're all set. You can only do live-streaming while you are connected to the internet, if you use a dial-up connection you may have to change your web page each time you connect and modify your IP address (the current version of webcam32 will do this for you). (To see your current IP address, in WIN95 or 98 you can run the command winipcfg).
