| ASF (Advanced Streaming Format) is a file format that stores audio and video information and is specially designed to run over networks like the Internet. | |||
|
You will need Windows Media
Encoder. If you don't have it you can download it here Windows
Media Technologies move down the page to Windows Media Tools and Services and download Windows Media Tools. You will be using the Windows Media Encoder included in the tools. Install Windows Media Tools. |
|||
| You can convert wavs or mp3s. They should be 128kps 44khz stereo for best results. | |||
| 1. Choose your wav or mp3. I am using Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head by BJ Thomas. Filename (BJ_Thomas)-Raindrops_Keep_Falling_On_My_Head.mp3 | |||
| e |
2. Start Windows
Media Encoder. |
||
|
|
|||
|
3. Next set the
Encoder Stream format as 28.8 Fm |
|||
|
|
|||
| 4.
Next screen click AVI/WAV/MP3 Files Like this: |
|||
|
|
|||
|
5.
Now you browse and find your mp3 or wav. I have found the file we are
using. It should look like this: |
|||
|
6.
Next you click where you want the data sent to. |
|||
|
7.
Next you choose a filename and a directory or folder to put the new asf
file into. I use the original filename and just change the extension from
mp3 to asf. I place the new file into a folder called ASF made. It will
show a window saying the file doesn't exist. Create the file? Click yes. |
|||
|
8.
Click the triangle circled with the red circle. |
|||
|
9.
The camera should turn green and the encoder will be encoding your
file. |
|||
|
10.
When the camera isn't green anymore the file is converted. The screen
should look like this: |
|||
|
11.
Go to folder holding your new ASF. Listen and enjoy If you need the script to add asf to your stationery you can download it here. I will enclose one copy with the area you change in red as a html file. The script will be as a txt file. Place the script right before </BODY></HTML> |
|||
|
12. Okay now you
need host or server to place the ASF file. You can place the ASF on the server of your own choice. |
|||
|
13. Next you will
either upload using the host's uploading page or you can use a FTP program
to upload to the host's FTP server. I use WS_FTP LE which you can download
from here.
Download WS_FTP LE 5.08 Install WS_FTP LE. |
|||
| 14. If you are using the host's upload page seek their help pages if you don't know how to use the upload page. I will step you through using the WS_FTP LE. | |||
|
15.
Open WS_FTP LE program. |
|||
|
16. Once you are
connect with the FTP server the screen should look like this: |
|||
| 17. The left window is your computer and the right window is the host. I set up a special folder to hold my ASFs. To do this click MkDir on the right and type in the name you want in the window then click okay. | |||
|
18. Double click
on the folder you just made. Now on the left side your computer click on
the two dots at the top moves you out of a folder. Move to the folder that
holds your ASF. Find your ASF highlight it like below: |
|||
| 19. On your computer go to folder holding your new ASF. Listen and enjoy. If you need the script to add asf to your stationery you can double click on the two links. Copy both files. AsfScriptExample.html and AsfScript.txt. The html copy shows the area you change in red. The script will be as a text file. Place the script right before </BODY></HTML> | |||
| 20. With the script added to your stationery you will be able to hear your ASFs play, and so will others. | |||
| 21.
