How To Stream Media From a Web Server

Here's How:

1. Open a text editor to a new HTML document.
2. Create your Real media sound or video file.
3. Save the file as a .ram file.
4. Upload the media file to your website.
5. Make a note of the location of the media file as a full URL, for example: http://webdesign.about.com/library/media/audio/htmlintro.rm
6. Upload both the .ram file and the HTML document.
7. On your Web page, point to that media file the same as you would point any other link, for example <a href="sound.ram">click here for a sound file</a>. This is a link to my introduction.

Tips:

1. As long as your web server has the correct MIME types set for RAM files, your media file will stream from the website.
2. The RAM file is a pointer to the actual media file.
3. If you are planning on streaming many files at once, it is a good idea to invest in a streaming media server. It serves the files faster, and won't overload your website.
4. Use any digital video or sound editor to create your media.
