- What is Streaming Video?
- Posted by David Lewis on August 11th, 2003
Greetings,
Streaming video is moving images seen on your monitor but not downloaded to
your computer,right?But is it a link to a special file format on a server, a
broadcast of some kind (like TV),or something else?
TIA

It depends on how the website and server is setp up. Some are simple
video clips which are streamed one at a time using http protocol,
others use special video streaming servers. Large-volume streaming
sites need to use such specialist tools, as http streaming is quite
limiting. Real Networks, Macromedia and other companies produce server
software for this type of thing. It's expensive and not usually
available as part of your standard web hosting package.
Some sites allow you to choose which clips to view, others are more
"live" (like tuning into a TV station).

Dave many thanks for the explanation.Is there a way to record the "stream"
apart from "screen capture" software?

You can buy specialist software for this, or if you're lucky I believe
there is freeware available. I don't have any recent experience so I
can't recommend anything in particular. This page may help:
