Video Streaming – The Player

First off, thank you to all those that have posted some very nice comments

In regards to this site. I apologize for not staying on top of the updates.

Business has been very good to me. One comment that sticks out is where

I come up with the titles for my blogs. Basically, my goal with this site is to

educate current and potential customers on what we do, how we do and how

it effects them. Thanks again for all your comments.

Back to Video Streaming:

There are two types of video players; the native player and the

“playerless” system. The native player is a piece of software that is

distributed by the streaming software provider that has to be

installed on the client's computer for the video to work. Examples of

a native player include Quicktime, Real Player and Windows Media

Player. The java player is also known as the “playerless” system. The

“playerless” uses java so it does not require the client to install any

software on their system to view the video. Both systems have their

advantages, which will be discussed further in the “Player Debate”

section.

At DW Video & Multimedia we moving toward the playerless system

with a product from our friends at VX30. Stay tuned for the next post

Streaming vs Downloading: What’s the difference?
