Microsoft Media Files Top

You can run Microsoft Windows Media Files on our servers.

You just need to provide a hyperlink to the windows media file(s), in the web page from where you would like your visitors to stream the file. Please note that you need to give the absolute path to the video file(s) in the hyperlink. For example:

<a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/filename.WMV">Click Here to Play the Video.</a>





How To Setup Real Audio/Video Top

You can stream RealMedia files by following these instructions:

To stream Real Audio/Video you need to do 3 things:

1. download the .rm (audio/video file) to your site using FTP or the File Manager in your Control Panel.

2. Create a file in your File Manager (at the bottom of the screen in the directory that you would like your audio/video files to be, put in a file name and click Create/Edit file) that has 1 line in it. This file name must have a .ram extension.

3. Call the .ram file in your html code.

Here are the more detailed instructions:

Typically you'll create a realaudio file subdirectory under domain-www, and put all your audio files there.

Then your .ram file, a.k.a., metafile, will contain an address with this format:

http://fulldomainname/subdirectory/filename.rm

The "subdirectory" is a subdirectory of your domain-www directory.

So for example:
http://musicforyou.com/ra/music.rm

Notice:
The above address goes in the .ram/metafile, not in your HTML code. Your HTML code calls the .ram/metafile. Then the .ram/metafile is used to call up the .rm/realmedia file. So for example, your HTML code would look something like this:

<a href="http://yourname.com/ra/music.ram">Click here to listen to music.</a>

Will Quicktime videos run on LA InterWeb Servers and where do I go to get support for Quicktime? Top

Yes, Quicktime will run on our servers. If it is a .avi or .mov file then the movie has to download first then your customer can view it, but if it's a streaming movie (ie .dv) then it will stream while the user is downloading the file. All you have to do is upload the Quicktime file onto our servers (anywhere on your account, just put it in your /www directory or below) You can upload files in your File Manager in the Control Panel. Then just link to your Quicktime file in your website using a hyperlink. To download the Quicktime software needed to view the video on your computer go to: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download to purchase Quicktime software to create the videos go to: www.apple.com/quicktime click on link that says: Quicktime Pro icon. The tech support phone number for editing Qucktime videos call: 800-767-2775 (Multimedia Professional Support) for general questions and help installing Quicktime call: 512-674-8700
