. . . with the Release of RealOne player. Not only did they bundle in malware that changed media process control all over the OS map, it had these "helpful" internet processes that hijaked ports to download "suggestions" and "information".
In the olden days, it was a lightweight media player that snapped open and actually did some network negotiation to deliver an optimal stream - download Real Player now and it takes 60 seconds to load on my dual core while it propigates its navigation with advertisements and crap from Real Network's CDN.
Everyone does iTunes podcasting, it's simple to set up and deploy. The University of Oregon, on the other hand, makes a lot of campus lectures and events available as a video feed: http://media.uoregon.edu/
