 PLANETCAST / Streaming Video Solutions for Web Broadcasting and Corporate Communications
On-demand webcasting is a more practical alternative, and involves recording video files in advance, fully edited and approved by the client, then encoding them to web-ready formats (see sidebar at right) and uploading to video servers for release on a web site.
Your computer's video player establishes communication with the dedicated video server, pulls down the first few seconds of the video file, and plays it - even as the balance of the file is being received.
Streaming video on the internet is a practical way to view video but avoid the burden of downloading and storing huge encoded files.

 How does video streaming works?, how to stream video?
The simplest method is to download the entire video file, and then view it with a plug-in or helper application.
The required size of the buffer is dependent on the overall quality of the video, the speed of the connection, and in some cases the length of the video.
Video editing software such as Adobe Premiere can be used to run the capture card, and edit the resulting file.

 CANOE -- CNEWS - Tech News: Tech At Home Internet video-on-demand for TV to be launched
Without a product like Akimbo's, video on the Internet can be streamed from a computer to a television.
Expanding the video catalog -- "scalability" in industry jargon -- is relatively easy by adding more computer servers for storage.
With new video and copy-protection technologies, and the rapid expansion of high-speed broadband connections, the time may be ripe.

 Video-on-Demand
ADSLs are not usable as Video on Demand (VoD) access networks when operating with PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) systems using multiplexing techniques in the subscriber loop, because in that case the lines are not physically switch ed.
This technology offers access to video as another data type to be manipulated by the computer for a host of applications.
The video material can be stored on a combination of magnetic or magneto-optic disks, and magnetic tape devices.

 Video on Demand
Video on Demand is an important aspect of this interactive media technology that is currently conquering the information systems worldwide.
The main components of a video on demand service are shown in figure: The video server to store and provide access to programmes, the data delivery network to interconnect the subscriber and the user-end set-top box to interface home TV equipment with the VoD services.
Video on Demand (VoD) is an interactive multimedia system that works like cable Television, the difference being that the customer can select a movie from a large video database.

Additional information is available in the GartnerG2 report "Coming Not-So-Soon: Online, On-Demand Movies." This report provides analysis on Internet video-on-demand, as well as the business model and consumer-side issues that must be resolved for Internet video-on-demand to succeed.
Even then, only 2 percent of movie distribution revenue will come through Internet video-on-demand.
Major brick-and-mortar retailers and rental stores, such as Blockbuster and Hollywood Video are concerned that their business may be cannibalized if enough consumers start using the new Internet video-on-demand services.

 Mastering Internet Video: A Guide to Streaming and On-Demand Video - WebReference.com-
The security of DVD copy protection relied on all the participating companies keeping that information secret, and once it was out, all DVDs could have the video "ripped" into the computers like audio CDs using a program called De-CSS.
Even if it were possible to absolutely guarantee the video security, such measures might be self-defeating if the system is so complicated or so restrictive that end users won't jump through the hoops necessary to get the content.
Businesses pay a lot of money for your videos, and you'd like to be able to deliver online so you can deliver to a bigger audience and decrease your turnaround time.

 USATODAY.com - Pro players + tech gurus = Chinese stew
Somehow, this hodgepodge became an ambition to create a system that would supersede personal computers, rule the Internet, monopolize the Chinese market and eventually set the media-on-demand standard for the world.
This is a snub at Microsoft, which many Chinese officials regard as a bully, and at wide-open Internet video that the government can't control.

 [Report] The On-Demand TV Revolution: Video-on-Demand & Per
No longer will you have to scramble for a video tape at the last minute or closely scrutinize the TV schedule: on demand TV allows you to watch the content you want, whenever you want.
Similarly, broadcasters are eager to gain a head start in providing their customers with on-demand and interactive services to drive the uptake of digital services and tap new revenue streams.
The rapidly growing demand for on-demand TV services has seen the emergence of two very different technologies.

According to some studies, people who aren't computer literate are more likely to embrace the Internet, video-on-demand, and so on if they can -- at least initially -- access these technologies through their televisions.
Broadcasting companies such as NBC have partnered with computer companies such as Microsoft for TV program content.
Convergence may influence consumers to accept new technologies.

But so far, the bandwidth and other infrastructure required to send high-quality video has cost more than providers have been able to recover at the price point consumers are willing to pay, experts said.
Requires RealPlayer G2 As the major Hollywood studios embark on the most ambitious Internet film distribution project to date, experts warn that delivering huge multimedia files to potentially millions of consumers will be a daunting and costly task.
Also, until recently it was risky to offer film downloads because the encryption in DRM software wasn't secure enough to prevent hacking, said Ira Rubenstein, senior vice president of digital distribution at Sony Pictures Digital Entertainment.

 MPEG-4 gets backing from movie studios Tech News on ZDNet
Some analysts have suggested that the movie studios may be interested in setting up online distribution partly to strengthen their hand in high-stakes negotiations with cable companies, which are in the midst of developing on-demand products.
On the Internet, MPEG-4 faces competition from proprietary formats from companies such as RealNetworks and Microsoft.
So far, the online entertainment experiment has resulted only in high-profile commercial flops, such as the collapse of the Digital Entertainment Network, Pseudo.com and AOL Time Warner's Entertaindom.

 Video on Demand
Jupiter Research estimates that it costs cable companies up to $100 to make digital cable available to each subscriber and an additional $40 to $80 to add video on demand.
VIDEO WEEK via NewsPage: Warnings about low profitability of video on demand have been sounded in media.
WTDR: One trial in the United States has found that users choose an average of 2.5 videos per month (slightly less than the 3.5 per month average for purchasing and renting video tapes).4 With US$ 3-4 per movie being charged in the trial, annual revenues would be around US$ 90-120 per subscriber.

 Definition of Disruptive technology
Internet Video on Demand vs. Advertizing supported broadcast and cable television
After a number of iterations, the incumbent has been squeezed into successively smaller markets and when finally the disruptive technology meets the demands of its last segment the incumbent technology disappears.
A disruptive technology is a lower performance or less expensive product or process that gains a foothold in the low end, less demanding part of an existing market, and then successively moves up-market through performance improvements until finally displacing the market incumbents.

 Untitled Document
The system most commonly involves audio files in MP3 format, but other formats and other types of files, such as video, can also be podcasted.
It can also be thought of as the internet equivalent of timeshift -capable digital video recorders (DVRs) such as TiVo, which let users automatically record and store television programs for later viewing.
A podcast can be thought of as an audio magazine subscription, in that a subscriber receives regular programs without having to remember to go get them, and can listen or watch them at leisure.
