No. 5: Old-Skool HTTP Streaming (Top 5 Ways to View Video on The Internet)

No. 5: Old-Skool HTTP Streaming

Ahhh old skool internet video...

Pros:

• Just works. Usually works with the pre-installed media player which comes with the operating system.
• Content control. The provider has more control over his video content and how it's distributed.
• Easy. Just upload the file, put the html tags, and you're done.
  

Cons:

• User not in control. The Pause and other navigation buttons on the player are usually disabled.
• Shitty, jerky video. With no way of pausing to wait for video to buffer and download proper, users are often times treated to a jerky incomprehensible mess of a video.

Here's how to do it.
