<CFCONTENT>, this is very much off-topic, so I'll throw you some quick
pointers and, if you'd like any additional advice, please feel free to
drop me a private note.
To reach the largest audience, choose one of these AV file formats:
RealAudio, Windows Media Service and/or QuickTime. The last has one
advantage; that it does not require server-side software for hosting.
Of the other two, WMS is already available to you as a non-default IIS
option. Simply install it from your Windows Server CD. RealAudio is a
separate commercial app which'll set you back some clams. I'm no longer
sure which player is more pervasive.
I'm not familiar with the QuickTime creation process, but WMS and
RealAudio both provide their own content encoders. More conveniently,
most professional audio editing applications (Sony Sound Forge, Cakewalk
Sonar, etc.) and video editing applications (Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere,
etc.) will export directly to one of these formats. Some even provide
bulk exporting tools for rattling out optimized web content from your
library of WAV or AVI files. For example, check out the batch converter
for Sound Forge.
I hope this is helpful.
Dave
