The audio stream is compressed using an audio codec such as MP3, Vorbis or AAC.
The video stream is compressed using a video codec such as H.264 or V8.
Encoded audio and video streams are assembled in a container bitstream such as FLV, WebM, ASF or ISMA.
The bitstream is delivered from a streaming server to a streaming client using a transport protocol, such as MMS or RTP.
The streaming client may interact with the streaming server using a control protocol, such as MMS or RTSP.
