226 Chapter 10: Publishing Setting Streaming Server Paths The first time you process a streaming file, you are prompted for the address of the streaming server if you have not already specified the information in the Preferences dialog. The addresses you supply in the Preferences dialog apply to all the streaming files you create, unless you override them in the Settings window. Remember, these addresses are player mount points. QuickTime Streaming Server Preferences QuickTime streaming movies are hosted by a QuickTime Streaming Server. The path that you enter in the Streaming Server Paths field in the Preferences dialog is embedded into a master movie that points to different alternate movies. The master is stored on the HTTP server and the alternate movies are stored on the QuickTime Streaming Server. When the viewer loads the master movie in your Web page, the QuickTime Plug-in examines the master movie and looks for the alternate movies on the QuickTime Streaming Server. The QuickTime Plug-in chooses the most appropriate alternate movie for the viewer's configuration. For additional information on QuickTime alternates, see "Alternates and Streaming" on page 109. The streaming server path you set in the Preferences dialog must be the exact address where the QuickTime alternate movies can be played. If this information is not accurate, the plug-in is unable to find the alternate movies. If you are creating a QuickTime streaming file and you do not want to use the default server settings you entered in the Preferences dialog, you can override the default in the Output tab of the Settings window.

Setting Streaming Server Paths

The first time you process a streaming file, you are prompted for the address of the streaming

server if you have not already specified the information in the Preferences dialog. The

addresses you supply in the Preferences dialog apply to all the streaming files you create,

unless you override them in the Settings window.

Remember, these addresses are player mount points.

QuickTime Streaming Server Preferences

QuickTime streaming movies are hosted by a QuickTime Streaming Server. The path that you

enter in the Streaming Server Paths field in the Preferences dialog is embedded into a master

movie that points to different alternate movies. The master is stored on the HTTP server and

the alternate movies are stored on the QuickTime Streaming Server.

When the viewer loads the master movie in your Web page, the QuickTime Plug-in examines

the master movie and looks for the alternate movies on the QuickTime Streaming Server. The

QuickTime Plug-in chooses the most appropriate alternate movie for the viewer’s

configuration. For additional information on QuickTime alternates, see “Alternates and

Streaming” on page 109.

The streaming server path you set in the Preferences dialog must be the exact address where

the QuickTime alternate movies can be played. If this information is not accurate, the plug-in

is unable to find the alternate movies.

If you are creating a QuickTime streaming file and you do not want to use the default server

settings you entered in the Preferences dialog, you can override the default in the Output tab

of the Settings window.
