Real-Time Streaming Alternates, Manually Specifying Paths to Alternate Movies

Page 126 highlights

118 Chapter 7: Formats Real-Time Streaming Alternates If you are making a set of QuickTime Streaming files for Presentation.mov with the same settings, Cleaner creates the following items in the Presentation folder: •ReadMe.txt •Presentation.html •Folder titled Upload to HTTP Server •Folder titled Upload to Streaming Server The Upload to HTTP Server folder contains: •Presentation_MSTR.mov The Upload to Streaming Server folder contains: •Presentation_288_S.mov •Presentation_56K_S. mov •Presentation_ISDN_S.mov •Presentation_T1_S.mov To include the streaming alternates on your site, embed Presentation_MSTR.mov in your Web page. Next, upload the four streaming alternates, which have the _S in their names, to the exact location on your QuickTime Streaming Server that you specified in the dialog when you first processed the file or in the Preferences dialog under the Edit menu. You can refer to the ReadMe.txt file to double-check the correct location path to these files on the streaming server. It is important that you do not alter the names of the alternate movies after you create them. If you change the names, the master movie will not be able to locate the alternates and will only be able to display the fallback instead. You can, however, change the name of the master movie. Manually Specifying Paths to Alternate Movies By default, the program assumes progressive-streaming alternate movies are placed in the same folder as the master movie. Cleaner automatically creates a relative path based on this assumption when creating progressive-streaming alternates. However, when you are creating realtime-streaming alternates, Cleaner cannot make this assumption because streaming alternates must be placed on a separate QuickTime Streaming Server. Because these files are located in a different location from the master movie, you must specify the exact absolute path to these alternates.

Real-Time Streaming Alternates
If you are making a set of QuickTime Streaming files for
Presentation.mov
with the same
settings, Cleaner creates the following items in the Presentation folder:
ReadMe.txt
Presentation.html
Folder titled Upload to HTTP Server
Folder titled Upload to Streaming Server
The Upload to HTTP Server folder contains:
Presentation_MSTR.mov
The Upload to Streaming Server folder contains:
Presentation_288_S.mov
Presentation_56K_S. mov
Presentation_ISDN_S.mov
Presentation_T1_S.mov
To include the streaming alternates on your site, embed
Presentation_MSTR.mov
in your Web
page.
Next, upload the four streaming alternates, which have the _S in their names, to the exact
location on your QuickTime Streaming Server that you specified in the dialog when you first
processed the file or in the Preferences dialog under the Edit menu. You can refer to the
ReadMe.txt file to double-check the correct location path to these files on the streaming server.
It is important that you do not alter the names of the alternate movies after you create them. If
you change the names, the master movie will not be able to locate the alternates and will only
be able to display the fallback instead. You can, however, change the name of the master movie.
Manually Specifying Paths to Alternate Movies
By default, the program assumes progressive-streaming alternate movies are placed in the
same folder as the master movie. Cleaner automatically creates a relative path based on this
assumption when creating progressive-streaming alternates.
However, when you are creating realtime-streaming alternates, Cleaner cannot make this
assumption because streaming alternates must be placed on a separate QuickTime Streaming
Server. Because these files are located in a different location from the master movie, you must
specify the exact absolute path to these alternates.
