A system, apparatus and method for presenting a video over a network using erasure codes is described. According to one system and method, the network has nodes, portions of a video being encoded as encoded portions each having sections, the sections for each encoded portion being distributed among segments, the segments being distributed among the nodes; an apparatus including a network interface coupled to the network; a control system coupled to the network interface and configured to initiate a video request and communicate with a subset of the nodes to receive a subset of the segments; and a decoder coupled to the network interface and configured to decode a subset of the sections for each of the encoded portions to generate the portions of the video; and a presentation device coupled to the apparatus, the presentation device presenting the portions of the video.
