About Streaming Media World

• What is "Streaming Media"?

The simultaneous transfer and display of the sound and images on the World Wide Web.

• What's so great about Streaming Media?

The user can watch and listen to it while it is being sent to their browser, instead of waiting minutes or hours for it to download and then playing it.

•What's in Our Streaming Media Categories:

Audio

In Audio find out about the latest tools and methods for creating, serving and playing live or recorded Web audio files.

Video

Images are the focus here. Whether they are videos, or scalable vector animations, like Flash movies, we show you how to make, serve, find, and view the images that sizzle.

SMIL/SYMM

SYMM is the acronym created by the W3C for SYnchronized MultiMedia. If you've ever seen an old unsynchronized movie where the lips move a second before you hear the words you know why it's so important to synchronize multimedia. This section discuss both standards-based efforts to synchronize Web multimedia (like SMIL) and proprietary products which create synchronized multimedia for the Web.

More

If what you are looking for doesn't fit neatly into one of the three headings above try our MORE section. Topics like digital watermarks and other security measures, dynamic media compression, automatic animation generation, and others may be found here.
