VOD users can permanently download content to a device such as a computer, digital video recorder (DVR) or a portable media player for continued viewing.

Television VOD systems can stream content, either through a traditional set-top box or through remote devices such as computers, tablets, and smartphones. subsequently launched the Digital Cinema Initiative, in 2002. Disney, Paramount, Sony, Universal and Warner Bros.

This technology has since expanded its services from feature-film productions to include broadcast television programs and has led to lower bandwidth requirements for VOD applications. In 2000, the Fraunhofer Institute IIS developed the JPEG2000 codec, which enabled the distribution of movies via Digital Cinema Packages. Unlike broadcast television, VOD systems initially required each user to have an Internet connection with considerable bandwidth to access each system's content. As Internet and IPTV technologies continued to develop in the 1990s, consumers began to gravitate towards non-traditional modes of content consumption, which culminated in the arrival of VOD on televisions and personal computers.

In the 20th century, broadcasting in the form of over-the-air programming was the most common form of media distribution. Video on demand ( VOD) is a media distribution system that allows users to access videos without a traditional video playback device and the constraints of a typical static broadcasting schedule. I really hope this helps you along with anyone else looking for help.An example of an in-flight entertainment system using VOD technology I only learned this because I too wanted to know how to use Flash on the wayback machine and stumbled accross your post. I'm pretty sure that this is why Flash doesn't work. It's like trying to interact with a ball vs a picture of a ball. Flash just isn't supported because these snapshots, these archived fossils don't exist anymore. But try and use any Flash elements on these snapshots, and the site breaks. The Wayback Machine has archived 12,267 times since late 1998 (December 12 to be exact). The reason being that the Wayback Machine's crawlers never actually copied the code for the Flash objects in the page, I think they probably just copied the actual message saying something along the lines of 'please enable Flash' and just archived that.

Maybe you already know the answer to your question now, but I wanted to answer it here anyway. Hello! I know that I'm 232 days late but I couldn't bear to see a question go unanswered.
