Abstract
Recent advances in technology have made possible the development of inexpensive multimedia display stations [1]. Rangan [2] noted that the cost of storing the material will require a high degree of reuse and sharing of video source material. This leads to the creation of large servers that serve large numbers of users [3]. These server systems use computers to store and retrieve compressed digital video data which they then transmit over digital networks to client stations.
