We use two types of video transport. The first one is QuickTime Streaming. This is for the longer-length and LIVE video. The picture quality is lower to allow a full-length movie to be streamed with less download time. The second is QuickTime Progressive Downloads. These are for the shorter clips (up to 7 minutes) that we offer on CBS 6 Albany Online. The picture quality is higher, but you download the full movie file as you view it (usually up to 5 megabytes for low bandwidth as with modems and 40 megabytes for high bandwidth as with cable modems, DSL and higher connections).
