Streaming Video - How To Discuss

Streaming Video
The video stream is delivered in a constant stream over the network, showing only the segment viewed directly and not downloading the file.
This is one of the most misused terms when it comes to online video. Not all videos hosted on the Internet are considered streaming videos. Streaming video is compressed and packaged using certain techniques (often called codecs) so that it can be distributed over the Internet. While watching a streaming video, the user can navigate to any point in the video timeline and play the video from that point without downloading the video from the beginning to that point.
