A universal Internet content delivery system is described that is able to deliver any digital content (video, audio, and/or text) over the Internet with excellent fidelity and immediate media launch, devoid of the usual buffering delay as seen with traditional streaming media players such as Windows Media Player or Real RealPlayer. The media is delivered in quick and constant fashion over the Internet with the speed and quality approaching the performance of a local hard drive, regardless of the original media file size. In addition, through the indexing system and navigation side menu, users have the ability to navigate to any section of the media content while the content is streaming over the Internet or any other network, without the delay of buffering a new section each time they navigate to it. The content delivery system sends content stored in format independent media files to a user's browser. The content includes instructions which, using a plug-in in the user's browser, are able to configure the user's browser to play the content. |
