HTH, Will -----Original Message----- From: Macdonald-Wallace, Matthew J [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 4:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [wdvltalk] Re: Streaming video This may be of some help: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/26320.html - Real to create a server to run on most O/S's that will stream Windows Media as well as Quick Time/Real etc. I'm sure I once knew of a way to stream WM files over the web, you might be able to use http and serve the files on port 80 over a normal web connection. I'd recommend Technet or MSDN as good sources for info on this, a quick search on google comes up with a few results, I've tried ASF Recorder for playing WMA/WMV files on Linux and it works pretty well, it also picks up streams over http and mms so I guess it's possible... its available here: http://free.top.bg/asfrecord/.
