Description

 

 

The example-driven, start-to-finish tutorial for producing and delivering video across the Internet.

  • Key opportunities in e-Commerce, entertainment, education, and beyond.
  • Defining successful Internet video strategies: platforms, technologies, and step-by-step implementation.
  • Includes CD-ROM library of Internet video clips and key Internet and compression standards.

e-Video offers a wide-ranging, high-level overview of the future of Internet video in e-commerce, entertainment, and education. It will help any Web professional and manager make more intelligent decisions about Internet video technology -- and achieve first-mover advantage by implementing winning video applications right now. In Part I, Philip Alesso introduces the coming Internet video revolution, its key technical enablers, and its most exciting applications in e-commerce, entertainment, and education. Next, walk step-by-step through Internet video preparation, production, capture, and editing for today's narrowband to low-end broadband (1.5 Mbps) delivery systems. Understand data compression in depth, including new algorithms that will deliver breakthrough performance; and gain insight into the coming transition to super-high-bandwidth optical networks. Finally, understand the key network and server technologies and platforms associated with Webcasting, including software from Real, Microsoft, and Apple.

H. Peter Alesso is President of Video Software Laboratory, a video streaming Internet company. In more than 20 years as a computer engineer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Alesso gained experience with an exceptionally wide range of platforms and applications. He holds several software copyrights and has published extensively in both scientific journals and conference publications.
