Sorry wrong link

http://my.msn.com/video/default.armx...em=NBC%20Today

Ok! Iasked this before but I never really got a good
answer. This is a Microsoft board with Miscrosoft MVPs.
How does Microsoft create this msn page with what looks
like video playing in it?

I assume the frame that it plays in is just a jog or
something similar on the page but how are they playing the
video behind it?

I assume it is streaming but is it the general type of mpg
video which almost everyone can view?

This is something I want to do but when I put video on my
site and someone clicks on it, another box opens and asks
if they want to download it. I just want it to play as
soon as the page is open.

Thanks

They did it like this guys did it

I don't know what your issue is DI, but twice I've read Dig asking a
question and twice I've seen you post an unhelpful reply. If you're just
here to irritate then tell us now and we can all add you to our kill-files.

I am not sure why this is such a hard question. Why the sarcasm? Is it that
no one knows how this is done?

Thanks Just me. I am not sure why this question seems to provoke sarcasm
instead of an answer. It seems that someone would be able to lead me in the
right direction but I am baffled by the response.

Thanks

First as with anything on the web, looking at the pages only shows you what
has been accomplished, it doesn't show you the steps or coding that was used
to accomplish what is being seen, unless it is being done with client side
scripting, such as JavaScript.

Therefore you can do a view source to see if you can get a clue to what is
being used, you can contact the webmaster and ask what is being used. Some
webmaster will not share the details on how they have accomplish something.

The only way someone can tell you how to do what you have seen, is if they
have done it themselves or can get a clue from viewing the source of a
specific page.

Anyway, I would suggest that instead of waiting for someone to tell you how
it was done or how to do it, start by visiting each of the following sites,
and look for info on embedding the player within a web page via JavaScript
or server-side scripting, such as ASP, ASP.net, PHP, etc.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...ad/default.asp
http://www.real.com/
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/

Dig,

That's an embedded Windows Media Player with some custom graphics added.
The custom graphics are scripted using client-side script to control the
player.

The media format is .wmv and is Windows Media 9 format. It is viewable by
anyone who has Windows and Windows Media Player 9 which is available by
download from Windows Update.

Dig

This question would probably be better served if you post it to the
Graphics and Multi-Media> Windows Media Technologies Newsgroup

Saying that, here is some information I hope will help you get started in the right direction

In order to accomplish what Microsoft is doing, you will need the WM encoder. You can get it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...oad/default.as

You will also need a Streaming Media Server, if your host does not provide one, you can look at a 3rd party host such as PlayStream: http://www.playstream.co

NOTE: If you are being hosted on a Win 2000 Server with IIS 5.0 or later, you can use http streaming (If services are installed). This IS NOT true streaming and packet loss can occur, but for testing purposes, it would be fine

You would now create Windows media files (Refer to the Help Files

I would recommend that you start your project in phases, first create the media and get your streaming working properly. Once you have that completed, you can work with the embedding

When your ready to embed your video, get the Windows Media Add-in from Microsoft
http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage/d...detail.asp?a=5

Now you can start laying out your site

Hope this gets you starte
