Hi!
What makes the difference between a video file able to be read as streamed from a web site, and a video file that has to be downloaded first before being read on a local computer.
Thanks.

The difference is not in the video file but how it is "served". With a "streamed" video you are playing it across the Internet. In the other case the file is downloaded and then played on your local system. If you are asking how you can setup your system to stream video across the Internet I suggest you look into VLC Media Player at: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
