HTTP pseudo-streaming - Progressive Download using server side scripting to allow random access to parts of the video that have not yet loaded.

Choosing which method is better for you depends on your application, target audience, capabilities of your server and lastly your pocketbook.

HTTP pseudo-streaming is not just for the "little guy" and can be used in most applications and deployment environments. Video blogs, Online product presentations, E learning, Movie trailers, Web Tv and many more can benefit from this method of deployment. The most important factor to know is the number of simultaneous PHP connections your web-server allows.


Not the solution if you have 100 requests per second... fine for anything else and for cheap. Looking for somebody who understands all this.
