Many people feel that the old type media production will always be the best mode of watching video. CD’s or LD has complete bandwidth capabilities that allows for good picture and great sound quality. Laserdiscs are not pirate protected and can be used on any player anywhere in the world as long as it is played on any National Television System Committee(ntsc) players which includes most countries. Many still look for the LD form of media that conform to the theatrical aspect ratio. If treated well the LD will last longer than any other format. The same will be true of the CD format for the same reasons. Streaming video may have many return to the use of LD, DVD, CD etc. when it realized that the quality of streamed video etc. is not the best quality (Keenan,2011) .

Reverses
When pushed to the extreme video streaming will become a library of videos that anyone can stream from the cloud or some pay service. Schools and businesses will no longer need to buy video technology but simply stream from a service much like UnitedStreaming which is used in schools today. This could eventually lead to teachers streaming there lessons online for distance learning capabilities.

The easy access of streaming makes it the choice of the day for many people today. With the LD, DVD/Blu-ray it is necessary to deal with how the media is produced and distributed along with the instrument that will be used to play it. Streaming video can be played on many different platforms from phones to desktop computers. One of the biggest problems for streaming is the need for sufficient bandwidth to play properly. LD, CD,DVD technology must be hardwired when streaming does not. Streaming's best selling point is its accessibility and availability. At the moment streaming is limited because of bandwidth but as internet access increases history has shown that quality of media loses out to cheap available media formats (Malczewski, 2011).

Great post! You make a lot of good points about the effectiveness of streaming video for educational purposes. What are your thoughts on the use of streaming video coupled with mobile devices such as smart phones or tablet pcs?
ReplyDeleteVideo streaming is popular. I use it to view movies, tv-shows, and participate in live events, such as listening to the radio stations. In my blog I focused on the USB. To make it conjunct with video streaming, videos can be downloaded/burned to and uploaded from USB flash drives.
ReplyDeleteVideo streaming in conjunction with mobile devices such as iPads and other tablets will revolutionize they way people enjoy their entertainment. In the past people had to time their lives around television schedules and remebering to program their VCRs. Now you can sit in an airport on a layover and catch up on an entire season of your favorite series from the past or present.
