What video on demand (VOD) services are recommended for e-learning?
VOD stands for "Video on Demand." It is a service that allows you to watch movies and dramas on a fixed price via the Internet.
This is a service that allows you to watch videos on a variety of devices at home such as PCs, smartphones, tablets, and game consoles through the Internet and mobile communication lines.
There are many types of VOD services, ranging from those that specialize in movies to those that provide many domestic dramas.
For example, Youtube is a video streaming service that is free to use.
Video distribution over the Internet
Nowadays, you can enjoy movies and dramas on the Internet through subscription video distribution services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
In addition, there are now a large number of other types of content that users can participate in and contribute to, such as YouTube and Tik Tok, as well as live streaming such as Insta Live and webinars (webinars), which have a variety of audience sizes.
There is also a wide range of devices on which videos can be viewed, and most of them have standard support for viewing on PCs, tablets, and smartphones.
Characteristics of streaming and downloadable distribution
There are two main types of on-demand distribution: streaming distribution and download distribution.
On-demand delivery is a method of viewing content that has been created in advance and uploaded to a server at a time when the viewer requests it.
What is Streaming Distribution?
Streaming is a technology for comfortably viewing large files, such as videos, over a communication line. Since large data on the server is read in little by little and played back sequentially, you can watch without worrying about the time required for downloading or the HD capacity of the device.
What is download distribution?
Downloading is a method of downloading all the data to the device and then starting playback. Before the widespread use of streaming, downloading was the common specification for video distribution.
In this method, the distributor downloads the video data to the user's device and plays it.
The transition from downloading to streaming
Just as the U.S. music market shifted from downloading to streaming around 2015, the trend in video streaming has also become more mainstream.
In the past, the mainstream method used was to download the video data completely to the device and then play the video file separately.
There are methods that allow users to download data such as wmv and MP4 files for Windows, and mov files for Mac, and play them with players such as Windows Media Player. ).
However, with the spread of 4G and 5G lines and broadband, not only has the transmission speed improved over the years, but also with the emergence of new streaming standards, people are shifting to streaming distribution from the perspective of copyright protection by preventing content redistribution as well as preventing storage pressure on terminals.
Of course, downloads have not disappeared, and there are still services that offer downloadable distribution.
In particular, in response to the need for offline viewing, such as "I want to watch on my tablet or smartphone even when I'm out of the house and don't have access to the Internet," each company's flat-rate distribution service has a dedicated application that can be downloaded with content protection taken into consideration.
The streaming technology used by learningBOX
In this section, we will introduce the delivery method used in learningBOX.
In learningBOX, there are two versions of the Movie player, version 1 and version 2, with different delivery formats.
In the version 1 series"Progressive download method."In the version 2 series, the"HLS streaming method."has been adopted.
Let's take a look at the features of each.
progressive download method
Progressive download, also known as "pseudo-streaming," is actually a method of temporarily importing content into the cache of a computer or smartphone for playback. Even if the communication environment is poor, once the data is imported, it can be played back smoothly.
On the other hand, the content will remain on the device temporarily, and there are concerns about copyright protection and pressure on the hard disk.
HLS streaming method
Unlike the progressive download method described above, the streaming method transfers only the currently playing video to the user, leaving no data on the device.
Basically, if you have an Internet environment with sufficient transmission speed, you can play back the video smoothly and it will not overwhelm your hard disk even if you play it for a long time.
The HLS (=HTTP Live Streaming) format is one of the protocols for streaming transmission, and was developed by Apple Inc.
This is the most widely used standard for streaming today.
You can check which version of learningBOX is currently specified in the "Learning Preferences", and you can also change the version.
Use it according to your usage environment.
If you want to watch videos in high quality, I recommend the premium plan!
The quality of the video playback varies depending on the learningBOX plan you use.
The higher the plan you subscribe to, the higher quality videos you can upload.
No matter how high the quality of the video data you have at hand, the quality may look inferior if the plan you have subscribed to is not applicable.
When using video materials, choose a plan that fits your environment so that learners can learn without stress.
