Streaming video is a sequence of "moving images" that are sent in compressed form over the Internet and displayed to the viewer as they arrive. Streaming media is streaming video with sound. With streaming video or streaming media, an internet user does not have to wait to download a large file before seeing the video or hearing the sound. Instead, the media is sent in a continuous stream and is played as it arrives.
Streaming video is usually sent from prerecorded video files, but can be distributed as part of a live broadcast feed. In a live broadcast, the video signal is converted into a compressed digital signal and transmitted from a special Web server that is able to do live multicasting, sending the same file to many viwers simultaneously.
So, if you are a cricket fan but are unfortunately stationed in a place where you don't get live telecast of cricket matches on yout TV set, the live streaming of cricket matches on your desktop or laptop could be just the thing for you.
