The video I chose to watch was Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog Act One on:

The technologies and infrastructure needed to create and distribute the program on the Web are a list of different programs. The Hulu website offers streaming video of TV shows and movies from NBC, Fox, and Disney, News Corp. Hulu provides video in Flash Video format, including many films and shows that are available in 360p and the considered high-definition format of 480p. Hulu now has a beta version of Hulu Desktop. This out of browser is a standalone program that allows users to watch Hulu without using their web browser. It is compatible with existing computer remote controls and requires a Flash player and runs on Windows and OS X. The blog has made it to iTunes and to DVD. So the technology needed is to have a Rich media program such as Flash or Sliverlight. Also a restraint would be storage space to save the streaming videos.
Now CBS is going all anti-Hulu on us. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2009/09/cbss-quincy-smith-want-to-make-case-against-hulu.html
They have an argument there is no authentication for consumers to prove they subscribe to a cable or satellite service; although CBS has online video on their site.
