What is Streaming Video? Streaming is a technique for playing video and audio over the Internet. With the advent of broadband Internet connections it is set to become a major communications tool. It allows users to view video and audio files broadcast over the Internet in real time and starts to play almost immediately without having to wait for the entire file to download. Furthermore, the file does not remain on the user's PC when streaming is complete thereby preventing copyright infringements. Video can be streamed from pre-recorded video files known as Video-on-Demand, or as a live-broadcast feed known as a Webcast. What's more the video can be synchronised with a variety of other media such as PowerPoint slides, Flash presentations or web pages to create a true multimedia experience.
