Don't tell the secret to the troll that enterprise CCTV solutions exposed to a browser based UI in majority of the cases use a streaming server like Wowza. Even I have been writing about Wowza for days here he still believes enterprise video streaming is free. Let him still believe that applications like Wowza, EVO and Flash Media are free ... just like the troll believes that Netflix does live streaming and he has no idea that Netflix is VOD.
One last time I'll contribute to keep this in the front page. Amazing that you would have such low level of comprehension and even tech knowledge? Let me put it to you in bold so you GET IT:
As far as peer to peer transmission is concerned, there's NO DIFFERENCE, between live video streaming and video on demand. Get that or should I repeat it?
The original video, be it live or previously recorded, still has to be encoded just the same and, if made available -again: IN BOTH INSTANCES-, to different platforms, encoded in several resolutions.
Oh and yes, there are plenty of applications that do the job quite for free, including one of the original ones, by Apple, circa 1999, and still available.
And with that, I'll leave you to discuss among yourselves. I'll be checking once in a while to find out to what levels has this descended to, in amazement.
Dev, I wish you luck. Given the company you keep, you are going to need loads of it.
