Webmaster Media Maker uses a technology called “Progressive Download”. When the video is played, the video file is downloaded to the client’s computer (hard drive) before playback. This file is served from a normal web server through an HTTP request just like a normal web page or any other downloadable document. Unlike traditional download-and-play methods of video delivery however, the file starts playing before it has completely downloaded.
