Video on Demand (VOD) allows a person to select a video and view it at his convenience on his television, computer, or portable device. Normal videorecording features are available for starting, pausing, fast-forwarding, etc. The video is stored on a server and when requested either downloaded to the individual's hard-drive or streamed.
Streaming Media is any content in audio or moving picture form - movies, documentaries, cartoon animations, film clips, newsreels, etc., that is formatted for delivery over the internet to a personal computer. Streaming media is not captured or stored on the personal computer.
