Windows Media Technologies - Do you remember when you
had to download your audio files to listen to them?
Windows Media technologies provide everything you need to
create, and host streaming media content that allows your
viewers to play streaming audio directly from your website
or to download directly to their desktop.

You can make your own streaming presentation:
- Create a PowerPoint presentation
- Use a free application within the Office Suite to create
an AVI file. Do this you use a mike on your computer to
talk through your PowerPoint presentation all the while
the application is capturing "everything" as an
AVI file.
- An AVI file is "useless" for the web since it
is so large. So we have another free tool (encoder) by MS
to encode this AVI file and turn it into a streaming
format file.
- All the tools & "how to's" are listed
below.

- Adding
Streaming Media to Your Web Site with Windows Media
Technologies - for those who want to understand the
basics of integrating multimedia into Web sites

- Embedding Content Within a Web Page with the <OBJECT>
Tag
- Linking to Advanced Streaming Format (ASF)
Content - when linking directly to streaming files
using a standard <A
HREF...>
tag, the browser will simply download it like any
other document, which defeats the purpose of
streaming. Therefore, when you want to link to
content to play in the external player, you create a
redirector file called an ASX file and link to that
instead.

- Sample
.asf file - this is encoded streaming media file
that does not require a Media Server to run. The two
conditions when we need a Media Server:
- When doing Live Presentations
- When the file has "tracks" where you can
jump from one location to another location within
the file, ie, like a CD.

- Camcorder - is a screen-capture technology that
allows easy creation of movies. It is a simple but powerful
movie recorder and playback utility. It captures screen
events, stores them as a portable file, and allows playback.
This utility enables you to create movies and save them in
an .avi file format or export them in an .exe file format.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, what would an
animation be worth? With the camcorder you can make training
or troubleshooting videos of computer screen movements for
example. You can convert the AVI file into a streaming
format and put it on the web.
One of the most useful things in LiveConnect
is the way it allows JavaScript to interact with Java. You now
have ability to access Java's methods and classes through
JavaScript. Below are some examples that demonstrate this
particular feature.
Note: The four examples below use the dynamic
text applet. The scrolling of the text, the fading of the
letters, the sizing of the fonts are all done in JavaScript.
With LiveConnect,
you don't even have to know Java to use it effectively and
uniquely.
Important: If you want to use any of the
above examples, you must first download the .class files and
place it in a working directory. Just refer to the class file
in the <APPLET> tag as you
would any other file.
