Describe the advantages and disadvantages of downloadable, streaming, and pseudostreaming media.
What will be an ideal response?
Downloadable: User can access downloaded files again and again; utilizes the HTTP protocol to transfer the data and, therefore, does not require a specific media server. The files typically are extremely large, resulting in a long download time and taking up considerable storage space on the user's computer or device.?Streaming: Users can choose the file portion they want to play using the player's control buttons; consumes RAM only while being played. Very high bandwidth requirements; frequently requires a specific media server to transfer the data.?Pseudo streaming: Users can access the content as it downloads, without waiting for the entire file to begin playback; users can access the files offline once the download is complete. Once downloaded, files typically are extremely large, resulting in a long download time and taking up considerable storage space on the user's computer or device. Playback during download may be interrupted if the speed at which the media plays exceeds the download speed.
