Clipstream™ Video is encoding software that takes any common downloadable video format (.mpeg, .mov, .avi) and reencodes it into a streaming video format that is playable from any Java-enabled browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari among others) using a tiny applet. To your customers, the video plays from within the page without launching any players.

Developing for Clipstream™ Video is a three step process. 1) You encode the video 2) You upload it to your server 3) You prepare your web page and publish it.

Anyone seeking to download, rehost or steal your bandwidth without your authorization is stopped by a further level of security called Clipstream™ SID. This is a separate authorization key used at the encoding level that you use to allow or disallow playback.

Clipstream™ relies on the Java™ cross-platform runtime, a piece of software installed on 96% of existing browsers today. This means that the vast majority of browsers are able to play Clipstream™. The remainder need only install the Java runtime, a two step process².
