basschick, mpeg can not be streamed, it can be progressive though, which mimics streaming, much like qhat quicktime does when not on a quicktime server. you download it, and as it downloads you are watching it....

If it sounds like a stream & looks like a stream... then it is a stream! Why buy the hype? <img border="0" alt="[Hi]" title="" src="graemlins/hi.gif" />

IMHO use VirtualDub and produce asf files. Officially new version of VirtualDub doesn't support asf files (MS prohibition), but you can download unofficially versions (wich support asf), or you can use old version 1.33 (wich also support asf files). I strongly advice you to don't install Windows Media Tools. Installing Media Tools will fuck up your MPEG4.x codec (incl. MP42 and MP43). You will have to re-install that codec and all DivX codec(s). If you ask me, this package sucks. But, this is only my opinion. peace

boooomer, tried it. my media player (which is the newest version) said it had become corrupted and could not play it. too bad - renaming them would have been too easy!

i tried it on this other computer. it came back as text in netscape and again unplayable when i clicked in ie. boooomer, better check your member area... the videos there may not play!

This is illegal. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> MS doesn't want to other software (except Windows Media Tools) produce asf files. But when you produce file, noone can say with which software you do that. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> Even DivX is (still) illegal. This is an cracked version of MS MPEG4 v2 codec. peace

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by boooomer: well.. i just ftp it and rename it wmv.. simple as that..<hr /></blockquote>Respectfully: Be forewarned this is not possible as it does not inherit the properties of wmv by simply renaming the file extension. All mpegs are compressed file formats and the associated properties will not changed unless re-encoded. Sure, your browser will probably recognize the file as there are error checks written into MS media player, but it will not be a true wmv. The MS media encoder program was not written to simply change file extensions.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> Late, Kyle

Can all surfers play WMV files? I changed my movie to Wmv format yesterday and already got about 10 emails of surfers which want to go back to old format (divX 3.11) and some of them can't play it (on win 95). What do they need to do on older windows so they can play WMV ? (so I can make some tutor page for them)

Why not download the Stream Amywhere demo from <a href="http://www.sonicfoundry.com" target="_blank">www.sonicfoundry.com</a> and then buy the full version if it's what you need? It can convert MPEG's to ASF and/or RM.

When you install Windows Media Tools you will fuck up some codec(s); this program overwrites angel potion codec for sure. If you say that this isn’t case on your computer, then this is an absurd. I’m not saying that you are liar, but I’m working with movies 2 years, and never hear anything similar. Look at any movie board, and you will see… Only one limitation, I never try to install that shit of program on XP.

AVI and MPEG are high quality formats, but they produce larger files, unless you use something like DivX, and that opens up more support issues. You have to strike a balance between what the surfer wants and your bandwidth bill. For a movie post your audience might be a little different, but that's how I'd go for a members area.

I use a 2 minute standard length that works out at 2.2Mb. That seems to be a good balance between quality and file size.
