Mediaplayer™ Vs. Realplayer™ a Comparison of Network Turbulence MediaPlayer™ vs. RealPlayer™ A Comparison of Network Turbulence Mingzhe Li, Mark Claypool, Robert Kinicki CS Department Worcester Polytechnic Institute Worcester, MA, USA http://perform.wpi.edu/ Introduction • Streaming video often does not like TCP – Wants smooth stream, so rate-based – Does not always want retransmissions !Chooses UDP • UDP flows may be unresponsive to congestion !Handle with Active Queue Management (AQM) • Typical AQMs model UDP flows as CBR (“firehose”) • More realistic models of streaming UDP flows will make AQMs more effective • We investigate size and distribution over time !

  • Before You Begin Producing
    Producing with Camtasia Before You Begin Producing Before you begin to produce your video you need to decide how it will be shared; web based, CD, DVD. Once you have decided how you are going to share your video you need to decide which file format would be the best for that particular mode of delivery. The file formats you can save with in Camtasia include: AVI, Macromedia Flash (SWF), Windows Media (WMV), QickTime, Macromedia Flash (FLV), RealMedia (RM), Camtasia for RealPlayer (CAMV), and GIF animation. Click on Show more file formats to view all these options. AVI video file: AVI is recommended for CD delivery requiring the highest video quality. Once you produce your completed AVI files, use Pack and Show to bundle the Camtasia Player and Codec for easy delivery on CD‐ROM. It can also be edited by using Camtasia or other video editing programs. This is the type of format the original video will save as after recording with Camtasia. Macromedia Flash (SWF) movie file: An SWF file format can be used for videos that are 3‐5 minutes. This file format is good for using if you want to put your video on the internet and it is supported by most browsers. You will need the Flash plug‐in to view this video. Windows Media (WMV) streaming media file: A WMV file format creates smaller file sizes and works well for longer videos. It does not have to be downloaded and plays in Microsoft Windows Media Player. It is a streaming video file format. This type of file must be stored on a Windows Media streaming server.

  • Video - Dive Into HTML5
    Video - Dive Into HTML5 You are here: Home ‣ Dive Into HTML5 ‣ Video on the Web ❧ Diving In nyone who has visited YouTube.com in the past four years knows that you can embed video in a web page. But prior to HTML5, there was no standards- based way to do this. Virtually all the video you’ve ever watched “on the web” has been funneled through a third-party plugin — maybe QuickTime, maybe RealPlayer, maybe Flash. (YouTube uses Flash.) These plugins integrate with your browser well enough that you may not even be aware that you’re using them. That is, until you try to watch a video on a platform that doesn’t support that plugin. HTML5 defines a standard way to embed video in a web page, using a <video> element. Support for the <video> element is still evolving, which is a polite way of saying it doesn’t work yet. At least, it doesn’t work everywhere. But don’t despair! There are alternatives and fallbacks and options galore. <video> element support IE Firefox Safari Chrome Opera iPhone Android 9.0+ 3.5+ 3.0+ 3.0+ 10.5+ 1.0+ 2.0+ But support for the <video> element itself is really only a small part of the story. Before we can talk about HTML5 video, you first need to understand a little about video itself. (If you know about video already, you can skip ahead to What Works on the Web.) ❧ http://diveintohtml5.org/video.html (1 of 50) [6/8/2011 6:36:23 PM] Video - Dive Into HTML5 Video Containers You may think of video files as “AVI files” or “MP4 files.” In reality, “AVI” and “MP4″ are just container formats.
