Various on-demand see full movie and tv services popping up the last few years have introduced some new terminology to most of us who are not technologically savvy, and who are just beginning to explore the vast, uncharted territories called the worldwide web. One term that is practically a household term is streaming. The concept of streaming is not new. Radio and tv are streamed. Streaming is, in a nutshell, a delivery method for media. We can stream anything that can be digitalized, including music, movies, sports, and tv shows.

One statistic that may surprise many people is that 30% of all internet traffic today is from Netflix streams alone. And over-the-top (OTT) media consumption from distributors like Netflix, Hulu Plus and SuperPass is projected to increase by 60% over the following a couple of years.

To clarify, you can find two kinds of video streaming - live and on-demand. Live streaming is viewed on the web simultaneously as a camera captures and digitally encodes the event.
