Streaming Media -- Concepts and Trends
(Intro./Intermed.)
Streaming Web media can be tremendously compelling, from listening to
overseas radio stations broadcast over the Internet, to catching the up-to-the
minute election coverage on CNN.com, to watching streaming video shorts and
movies. Yet streaming media can also be confusing and frustrating to work with,
with multiple competing and changing standards, and severe quality degradation
due to bandwidth constraints.
Explore today's streaming media industry and technology, and the tremendous
improvement in compression technologies for high-def, broadband, and even
handheld video. Understand streaming media on the desktop -- from formats and
technology to desktop production, including Apple QuickTime, RealNetworks
RealMedia, Microsoft Windows Media, and MPEG-4.
