The word "file" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

what is difference what kind of data chunk it is? 0 difference. or for university educated - he introduced file as a helpful abstraction, so i work with that abstraction, if you say it is not good abstraction then tell him. calling ts file a file is absolutely correct in any sense of word. just to be thorough. in philosophical debate we are having in computer science. ( yes toxic sarcasm )

that one post is more to the topic of OP is asking for, than 90% of comments here.

again NEWS, movies, comedy, trumps tarrifs, are streamed digitally to bilions of people over dvb-t/c/s every day. if how are bits ordered/chunked is important for you that much, that this already working system is not good for you in that sense ? makes no sense.

or explain little more, one sentence explaining whole world is k12 like. or 42 for book readers.

I'm using "static file" to mean something pre-recorded that even if users will view in order, they will likely start at different times, so different users will be viewing different parts of it.

In contrast to a live stream where everyone is viewing the same part at the same time, and once that part passes nobody is likely to view the old part ever again.

This makes a big difference in terms of network design.

		yes so makes no difference if it is file "without end" (pipe essentially) or bunch of TS files.
