Streaming
Audio ~ how to using wmp 11
We
have had mixed results with streaming audio in testing
Some
files can be controlled by WMP successfully with our plug-in but others
can not
Again
some streaming files allow themselves to be cache by WMP others not
We
believe that it has to do with codec's that are used to create the streamed
audio files
and
the settings used ( which we have no control over - see the example
below from Windows Media Encoder )
Audio
files that are imbedded in a browsers > that open WMP in the browser
> can't the controlled
But
if it is a url > that then is used to point WMP at > we can control
the file.
Sorry
that we have to give you a mixed answer but that is how it stands
If
you have a url that we could use as a test site please forward that
to us we could then email back
with the result
(BTW
we have found that the RealPlayer more flexible than WMP in the way
it handles streaming)

Or an
Alternate solution " Capture Live Streams" for USD$36.00
Total Recorder Professional Edition can automatically and periodically
"split" the recording, as the recorded file is being created.
So, your user could set Total Recorder to "Split" the file
every 15 minutes. A new split file would then become available every
15 minutes for typing.
We have a number of firms that use this feature now, for this exact
purpose. It allows them to finish a transcription just a few minutes
after a webcast is complete.
Total Recorder creates standard wav file (compressed or uncompressed).They
would just use their standard foot pedal package to playback the file
and transcribe.
I hope this all makes sense. Total Recorder Professional Edition costs
$35.95 USD. It is available from the site http://
www.HighCriteria.com and may be tested, prior to purchase.
Cheers!
