Streaming Video/Audio

Solution

Overview

Streaming video is a sequence of "moving images" that are sent in compressed form over the

Internet and displayed by the viewer as they arrive. With streaming, a Web user does not have

to wait to download a large file before seeing the video or hearing the sound. Instead, the

media is sent in a continuous stream and is played as it arrives.
