SAMPLE HTML USING AN ASF FILE

We have included an example HTML file on the Sound Forge XP CD-ROM,

showing how to use the NetShow ActiveX control to add an ASF file to a web

page. You can find the example in the \SAMPLES\NETSHOW folder on the

CD-ROM.

The HTML sample requires Microsoft Internet Explorer v3.0 or better.

Follow these steps to use this example:

1. Copy SAMPLE.HTM to the folder on your hard drive that contains the ASF

file you wish to use.

2. Modify the FILENAME parameter within the NSOPlay object to reference

your local ASF file (a fully qualified path is required).

3. Open the edited SAMPLE.HTM file within your browser.

4. Continue with the additional instructions listed on the example page.

CONVERTING A HIGH BIT-RATE AVI FILE TO ASF FORMAT

This section of the tutorial demonstrates how you can create high bit-rate

video content and convert it to ASF. SAMPLE1.AVI is a short video clip that uses

the Intel Indeo Interactive VCM video codec installed with the NetShow Player.

The Intel codec is well suited for mid to high bit-rate video. The audio track

in this file is PCM format.

1. From the File menu, open SAMPLE1.AVI from the \SAMPLES\NETSHOW

folder on the Sound Forge XP CD-ROM. From the File menu select Properties.

Select the Format page and set the audio Sample Size to 16 bits. Make sure that

Channels is set to mono. Select OK.

Note that editing and playback performance of an AVI file will suffer

greatly unless you first copy it to your hard drive. It is strongly

recommended that you always copy AVI files that you are editing onto

your hard disk.
