Great book!

Covers everything you need to know about streaming, including network setup, coding, customer examples. Definitely one of the best books around.

Well done !!!

Finally a book that explains how to start streaming. No walk around, no sophisticated language. Straight step by step explanation of how to configure a workstation or a media server. many other books that talk about streaming media concentrate on the development of web pages, or emphasize the production process. The Streaming Media Handbook covers in short the production process, but just as an overview. It covers how to prepare web pages to display streaming content, but just as a tool to test your streams. And what is more important then learning how to start streaming. How to connect a video source to your capture card, adjust your encoding tool, and configure your media server to receive a streaming signal? I definitely recommend it! I found helpful charts and product comparison, and a detail break down of software and hardware, showing the pros and cons of each streaming technology. Well done !!!
