that can read and translate information allowing the Streaming software to

| Q.
|
What is better, WEBSTREAM
or a file attachment?
|
 |
|
| A.
|
Many people and companies no longer
will take the risk to open a file attachment because of virus problems. Many
PC's are set (in the PC security section) not to accept file attachments and
delete them when they arrive. WEBSTREAM
avoids being deleted and is treated as any other email to a PC. Streaming
allows heavy video files to play on browsers operating on low and high
bandwidth and play quickly and efficiently. |
 |
|
| Q.
|
What is Streaming?
|
 |
|
| A.

content over the Internet in a fast and reliable manner whilst maintaining
quality and security. Typically the content being delivered to your PC is
divided into sections to reduce file size and delivered seamlessly as one,
without file attachments. |

| Q.
|
What screen size should I send
to my viewers and why is there a choice?
|
 |
|
| A.
|
Although the supply of bandwidth is
growing around the world, many people do not have access to Broadband or simply
do not want or can't afford it. WEBSTREAM
can be received on both Broadband and "Dial up" however when viewing a video on
dial up the service, the video data is received at a slower speed. To offset
this, video can be viewed in a smaller file to be received at a quicker pace.
