Webcasting FAQ
What are Streaming Media Players?
Streaming Media Players are applications for users to view streaming media content. By simply downloading a player (most are free) webcasts and other streaming media content can be viewed directly on the user's PC. The most popular players are Windows Media Player, Real Player, QuickTime Player and Flash Player.
How does Streaming really work?
The Internet, in general, works by sending Internet Protocol (IP) packets from sender to receiver. All messages (such as emails) are broken up into these packets and reassembled at the receiving end. Delays, packets arriving in the wrong order and the speed of delivery are not normally problems for most messages sent: the receiver just sees the finished result when the message has been reassembled at the far end. However, sending a video file for immediate viewing cannot be subject to major time delays or having to wait for packets to be re-assembled into the correct order - the video just wouldn't play back correctly if this happened.
Streaming technology effectively keeps a permanent channel open between the player and the streaming media server. The server broadcasts video packets in a continuous stream, to the media player. As these video packets travel over the public Internet, which occasionally suffers congestion, the media players have intelligence ("buffering") that usually successfully smooth's out any network problems. Occasionally, the player may need to pause the video or audio, to load its buffer again, if the network conditions are particularly bad.
