In computing, a screen buffer is a part of computer memory used by a computer application for the representation of the content to be shown on the computer display. [3] The screen buffer may also be called the video buffer, the regeneration buffer, or regen buffer for short. [4] Screen buffers should be distinguished from video memory.
In computer science, a data buffer (or just buffer) is a region of memory used to store data temporarily while it is being moved from one place to another. Typically, the data is stored in a buffer as it is retrieved from an input device (such as a microphone) or just before it is sent to an output device (such as speakers); however, a buffer may be used when data is moved between processes ...
Buffering and pixelation are the scourge of streaming video. It ruins the experience for viewers, robs advertisers of revenue as said viewers tune out, and causes technical headaches for streaming ...
In computing, hardware overlay, a type of video overlay, provides a method of rendering an image to a display screen with a dedicated memory buffer inside computer video hardware. The technique aims to improve the display of a fast-moving video image — such as a computer game, a DVD, or the signal from a TV card.
Streaming media refers to multimedia delivered through a network for playback using a media player.Media is transferred in a stream of packets from a server to a client and is rendered in real-time; [1] this contrasts with file downloading, a process in which the end-user obtains an entire media file before consuming the content.
Some video content may need the video acceleration to be lowered in order to play properly. To lower the video acceleration in Windows Media Player: 1. Click Start, select All Programs or Programs, and then click Windows Media Player. 2. Click the Tools menu, and then click Options.
In computer science, multiple buffering is the use of more than one buffer to hold a block of data, so that a "reader" will see a complete (though perhaps old) version of the data instead of a partially updated version of the data being created by a "writer". It is very commonly used for computer display images.
The Video Buffering Verifier (VBV) is a theoretical MPEG video buffer model, used to ensure that an encoded video stream can be correctly buffered, and played back at the decoder device. By definition, the VBV shall not overflow nor underflow when its input is a compliant stream, (except in the case of low_delay).
