228 Chapter 10: Publishing Windows Media Server Preferences Windows Media files must be uploaded to a Windows Media Server. You can override the Preferences dialog and customize the streaming server path for the Windows Media Server in the Settings window. The path you enter in the Streaming Server Paths field is used in the metafile, which for Windows Media is called a WVX file for video and a WAX file for audio. The WVX/WAX file is linked in your Web page and uploaded to the HTTP server. When the viewer clicks the link to the WVX/WAX file, the browser downloads it and opens the Windows Media Player. Windows Media Player then uses the streaming server path information in the WVX/WAX file to find the Windows Media file on the Windows Media Server and plays it. See "Uploading to a Windows Media Server" on page 138. To override default preference settings: 1. In the Output tab, click the Create Metafile option check box. The streaming server address supplied in the Preferences dialog is displayed. 2. To specify a different path, click the check box for the Override Prefs option and type the new address in the field. You can also link viewers directly to the Windows Media file on an HTTP server so it can be downloaded to their computer. For more information, see "Adding Downloadable Files to a Web Page" on page 139.
