I am totaly new to working with streaming audio and video
over the net so I have a few quesions:

First this is what I am doing.  I am creating online
classes for my company by using Power Points recorded
with Audio and saved as a video file and then attempting
to put them on a site in order to be streamed.

I have been using Microsoft Encoder to compress and save
the files as .wmv.  Then I put them on the company server
and put a link to them on the site.  My problem is that
when someone tries to access them the result is what I am
told is called psuedo streaming.  Playback is allowed as
soon as enough data has been downloaded to fill a
playback buffer but, you have to download the entire file
and you can't skip ahead untill earlier parts have been
download.

What do I need to do so the files actually stream.  
Someone said to get Windows Media Server off the
Microsoft site but I couldn't find anything to download.

Thanks,
Scott

I don't think Windows Media Server is available as a
separate download for Windows 2000 and Windows 2003
server.

Windows Media Server version 4.1 is available with Windows
Server 2000 Server OS. Similarly, WIndows media Server
version 9.0 is available with WIndows Server 2003 OS.

If you already have the either of the above windows
servers installed, you should be able to go to Add/Remove
Programs->Add/Remove Windows Components and you will find
a check box for the Windows media Services.

Hope this helps.
Ravi
