A method (figures 2 and 3) of transmitting video image (12, 14) and/or audio data (12, 14) over the Internet (Internet figure 1) in a faster manner and with greater quality than hithertofore possible, and without the use of the E-mail system on the Internet (Internet figure 1). The method of the invention includes transmitting video (12, 14) and/or audio (12, 14) over the Internet (Internet figure 1) by encoding (16) the binary data (10) representing the video (12, 14) and/or audio (12, 14) to be transmitted in text format, such as seven-digit ASCII code, which encoded data is then sent to the local server (18) of the local web of the Internet (Internet figure 1). The local server (18) then establishes a point-to-point socket-connection between the transmitting host computer (10, 12, 14, 16) and the receiving or end-user computer, (20, 22, 24) thereby avoiding any E-mail associated logjams. |
