[Hidden-tech] QuickTime and streaming video question

[Frieda Reichsman]

Hi,

Can anyone clarify for me what "streaming video" per se does beyond  
the immediate playing of a movie that is downloading?

Here's my confusion: If I create a QuickTime movie (.mov) say using  
QuickTime Pro, or SnapzProX, for example, and then upload it to my  
website along with a web page that links to it, when I click that  
link, the movie opens on its own page and starts playing immediately.  
The start of the movie is playing while the rest of it is downloading  
in the background. This sounds like streaming video to me, but I have  
not done anything special, like use a streaming video server, or  
hosting service.

Thanks,
Frieda
