In the first session of week 2 we were asked to look at the strengths and weaknesses of QuickTime. Windows Media. Real Media. Macromedia radiate and Mp3 with regards to streaming. The QuickTime player boasts capabilities such as a “built-in progressive download” (“Strengths and Weaknesses of QuickTime”. (n d.)) and the fact that “The DoIT Streaming Server supports QuickTime formats.” (“Strengths and Weaknesses of QuickTime”. (n d.)) as does “Windows Media” (“Strengths & Weaknesses of Windows”. (n d.)) and “Real Media” (“Strength & Weaknesses of Real”. (n d.)). The radiate player seems to have no great advantage over the other players other than the percentage of internet users able to see the players as seen in the graph bellow. Graph 1 from (“Percentage of Internet,” (n d.))Mp3 like Flash has no study strengths but one great weakness; “limited maximum close in coat” (Bouvigne. 2003). “Unfortunately in some (limited) cases this limit seems to be too low leading to unavoidable degradations of the appear quality” (Bouvigne. 2003). Unfortunately “Windows Media has a very low install base among Macintosh users” (“Strengths & Weaknesses of Windows”. (n d.)). Real Media has a problem with similar results. “It is difficult for users to find the free Real Media Player on the Real Web place” (“Strengths & Weaknesses of Real”. (n d.)). Considering all of the above Strengths and Weaknesses of the above mentioned products and the machines/internet connection available while working on my coursework I would decide Windows Media. In a professional environment I would be torn between two players but QuickTimes “displace quality for streaming of circumscribe particularly with displace connection speeds” (“Strengths and Weaknesses of QuickTime”. (n d.)) would leave me to choose the Flash player because of the percentage of internet users that undergo access to it. References
