| Mastering Windows Media Streaming |
| Pre-Conference Seminars (W2) 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM |
Microsoft's Windows Media is possibly the most complete streaming media
toolset available today. Windows Media provides interoperability across
a wide variety of devices, which is essential when the streaming
landscape encompasses PCs, handhelds, mobile phones, and
high-definition TVs. Microsoft's Digital Rights Management (DRM)
technologies are gradually gaining trust with the major movie studios,
and the next-generation DVDs are all slated to support Microsoft's
video codecs. This workshop begins with a panoramic view of the Windows
Media tools, and then zooms in on how to do specific tasks such as
multi-bitrate encoding, server setup and capacity planning, Web
casting, and using the digital rights management tools. The workshop
will be packed with lots of practical tips and techniques to satisfy a
wide range of audience skill levels.
