General Information
Video streaming allows the viewer to watch a video file or listen
to an audio file of ther the World Wide Web without waiting for
the file to download to the desktop computer. In 1996, Mississippi
State University streamed its first video and today there are
a variety of videos, meetings, and live performances that are
streamed by Mississippi State University.
To rescue the user from an long download time of video files,
video streaming provides an excellent alternative. The user can
begin watching a video or audio file white the file is being set.
The file is sent in a gradual continuous stream to the desktop
computer. Therefore the file is not downloaded onto the desktop
computer. The wait time is limited for video streaming.
