Create Files

Provide a name for the files that will be created through the wizard. At the least, the wizard will create an announcement file (.asx) and a multicast information file (.nsc). The announcement is a Windows Media metafile that points players to the multicast information file. The multicast information file contains information that enables players to access and decode the multicast stream, including the IP address, port, and stream format information.

You also have the option to create a Web page (.htm) that contains a link to the announcement and an embedded player.

All files will have the same name, but the appropriate file name extension will be appended to the file name.
