Technology in
By Sum Poon
Introduction
• Traditionally,– need to download the video to your computer
before playing it– cannot play it until you finish downloading the
whole video– if the connection is broken, you may need to
download the whole video again from the beginning
• In YouTube,– need not to download the whole video before
playing it– play it when you are downloading the video
• This technology is called “Streaming”
What is Streaming?
• Technique for transferring • Processed as a steady and continuous stream• Start displaying the video before the entire
video has been downloaded• Requested data flow as stream of digital bits
What is Streaming?
• Small buffer space is created on the client’s computer
• Buffer is full, the video starts to play• The file plays, it uses up the information in the
buffer• It is playing, more data is being received• download >= play
=> play smoothly
