Below is a portion of an email describing a new method to allow users to
view videos on the web. What I get out of this is that even someone on
dial-up can view a HD quality 2 minute video instantly with no delay for
buffering, etc., AND no player needs to be installed locally to play the
video.
"Company" is investing $20,000 in two servers with Flash software ("Flash
servers") which will allow them to present instant-on, high quality
streaming videos to our customers that is independent of the capabilities of
the receiving computers. This is the latest technology that is employed by
the people who are putting broadcast TV on the web, and is used on websites
such as www.hulu.com. There are no players to download. There is no video
that is actually downloaded to your computer (unless you wish to save it,
and make a special effort to do so). Everything is web based, so it doesn't
matter whether you have a superfast computer or a slow computer; to a great
degree, even the type of connection is relatively secondary. All you do is
click a button, and the video comes on almost immediately with none of the
loading/buffering issues you saw with <other> system<s>. Quality is supposed
to be far better, and is claimed to be somewhere between Hi Def and Blue
Ray. Degradation of image quality is said to be minimal even when you make
the image full screen. Customers therefore should see a far better image,
watchable on full screen, with no download delays/buffering problems no
matter what their computer's capabilities may be.
This seems almost too good to be true, are there any opinions out there that
could help me determine the veracity of this statement.
