Streaming video

Streaming video is a computer concept wherein video is served over a data network, traditionally the Internet, and rather than being saved for later playback, the data is played back immediately and then discarded. Websites typically use technologies like Adobe Flash to stream video, though some websites rely on older technologies like RealNetworks' RealPlayer and Microsoft's Active Streaming format. Streaming video's biggest advantage is a quick load time and content providers maintaining control over the content, but compatibility with diverse systems remains a concern for users.
