Hypervideo is a form of interactive video that allows users to follow links to other video. A simple form of hypervideo, called “detail-on-demand video,” provides at most one link from one segment of video to another, supporting a singlebutton interaction. Detail-on-demand video is well suited for interactive video summaries, because the user can request a more detailed summary while watching t...

As the rapid progress of the media streaming applications such as video streaming can be classified into two types of streaming, Live video streaming, Video on Demand (VoD). Live video streaming is a service which allows the clients to watch many TV channels over the internet and the clients able to use one operation to perform is to switch the channels. Video on Demand (VoD) is one of the most...

The public is rapidly being furnished with digital health information of all kinds and on a wide and expanding range of platforms – kiosk, Web, digital interactive television and mobile device. Along with different platforms are different ways of providing information: text, graphics, audio records as well as two-way communication and video. This paper examines one of the very first attempts to...

In Peer-to-Peer Video on Demand system free VCR-like operations are very frequent. The uncertainty of frequent VCR operations makes it difficult to provide play as download services. To address this problem, we propose Optimize prefetching for Peer-to-Peer Video-on-Demand systems. Through simulation results, we demonstrate that the proposed prefetching scheme

Video-on-Demand (VoD) has been an active area of research for the past few years in the multimedia research community. Significant research efforts have been directed towards reduction of network bandwidth requirements, improvement of server utilization, and minimization of start-up latency. Server load and network bandwidth are the major performance issues in streaming video over the Internet....

A large scale, distributed video-on-demand (VOD) system allows geographically dispersed residential and business users to access video services, such as movies and other multimedia programs or documents on demand from video servers on a high speed network. In this paper we demonstrate through analysis and simulation the need for a hierarchical architecture for the video-on-demand distribution n...

A robust real-time video communication service over the Internet in a distributed manner is an important challenge, as it influences not only the current Internet structure but also the future Internet evolution. In this context, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks are playing an imperative position for providing efficient video transmission over the Internet. Recently, several P2P video transmission s...

Peer-to-Peer Live streaming and Video on Demand is the most popular media applications over the Internet in recent years. These systems reduce the load on the server and provide a scalable content distribution. A new paradigm of P2P network collaborates to build large distributed video applications on existing networks .But, the problem of designing the system are at par with the P2P media stre...
