Basic Concept Video Streaming

Streaming is a technology to play video or audio file directly or with a pre-recorder from a server machine (web server). In other words, video or audio file that is located in a server can be run directly on the EU as soon as there is demand from users, so that the process of running a downloadable application form for a long time can be avoided without having to first storage process. When video or audio file in the stream, will form a buffer on the client computer, and video data - audio white person will be downloaded into the buffer that has formed on the client machine. Within a split second, the buffer has been fully charged and automatically executed by videoaudio file system. The system will read the information from the buffer and keep doing the downloading a file, so the process continues to stream into the engine .

Real Time Encoding and Pre-encoded (stored) Video or Audio

Video or audio can be encoded for the purpose of communication in real time or may be in the pre-encoded and stored in CD-DVD format to run when needed. One of the applications that require real-time encoding is the videophone and video conferencing. While applications that require pre-encoded include DVD, VCD, known by the local storage or Video on Demand (VoD), which is stored remotely on the server known as streaming video.

Video via File Transfer Download and Transfer via Streaming Video

A video file that will be displayed in the user can use two file transfer methods. First, by downloading the video file and the second with a streaming process. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages of each. A video file is retrieved from the server by downloading dapaat not shown in a video file is copied into the buffer is complete. This method requires the storage medium large enough and the time required to process long enough for downloading video files are usually large. The second method that can be used is the process of streaming. This method seeks to overcome the problems found in the download method. The basic idea of this streaming video is to divide the video packets into several pieces, transmits the data packet, then the recipient (receiver) can play a piece mendecode and video packets without having to wait for the whole files have been sent to the recipient's machine.
