On the right is a demonstration of a computational video component. This component implements a streaming MPEG video decoder. Notice that there was no need to download any sort of "add-in" player program. This player was broadcast to you from the server just before the video data. You can select any one of the file names shown in the list and that video will start playing. You can switch between video streams by selecting different files. The control buttons are self-explanatory. You can reposition the video by dragging it while holding down the left mouse button. The right mouse button brings up a list of options, including resizing the video display.

Also, see the Computational Video server demo and the picture-in-a-picture demo.
