Streaming Capture is a technology that enables real-time recording of digital media like video and audio as it is transmitted over the internet. It involves capturing, converting, and storing content for various purposes such as storage, editing, or redistribution. The process relies on codecs for compression and decompression to ensure efficient transmission and playback without significant loss of quality. Streaming capture has evolved from its roots in the late 1990s with platforms like RealPlayer, QuickTime, and Windows Media Player, through advancements in software capabilities and codec development, to the current era marked by ubiquitous live streaming and content creation as a profession. Modern streaming capture software includes features such as scheduled recording, automatic quality adjustment, and simultaneous recording and broadcasting.
