Video On Demand is a type of streaming video that allows users to select and watch or listen video and audio content that is on demand. While webcasts are perceived as impractical for most purposes, VODs are becoming increasingly popular. In using this, the video can be stored on a server. It can be viewed by anyone at any point of time in future. However, it should be stored in an appropriate format that is convenient for future use. Due to the ease of storage and use, VOD has gained large acceptance and popularity among users.
Moving on to hosting the video file, a web server is required for storage and from there; the file can be hosted on different websites. The advantage of having VOD on websites is that they can detect the connection speeds and deliver a version that is appropriate for a particular connection speed. Thus, VODs are advantageous over other forms of streaming videos.
