Dear Neil,
Thank you so much for helping in checking the link and suggesting. I have
done according to your suggestion on changing the compression to standard
MS-MPEG4 file. The file size is now about a third of the original file but
the quality is degraded.

OK agreed on that, it has very strong macroblock artefacts. Although
it's possible to get good results using MPEG4, I think your settings
are way off here. The video looks to be 640x480, I'm curious what
you're encoding it *with* here to get such poor results.

In addition I'm not entirely clear why you're embedding WMP but trying
to delivery MPEG4+MP3 audio. A better match to those players might be
WMV9 (about 250kbps CBR) + WMA9 voice audio (about 12-20kbps audio)

However, after playing for 2:30 minutes, The error "The sever is sending
too much data. The coonection has been terminated" appeared. And when click
on "web help" the error "You've encountered error message C00D2F05 while
using Windows Media Player" was shown.


Yes, it does, and I'm not clear why without doing extensive network
sniffing (time for beer tonight so can't do it till the w/e if I can
spare the hour)


In the meantime, I'd start with the wizard settings of windows media
encoder, or even MovieMaker, and use some basic streaming settings
without modification - re encode the AVI a third time and load it into
the server.

That usually will be the most compatible solution until we can figure
out the other variables such as your apparently limited bandwidth at
the server end.


What else do I need to setup on the server to allow uninterupt stream of
video to be sent out by the windows media server 9 on Window server 2003 SP1?

You help is highly appreaciated
Thanks,
Bob

PS one thing to check : You have a *very* odd combination of codecs :

Video mpeg4z (never heard of that, should be mpeg4)
Audio adpcm_ms

The likely outcome is that using uncompressed audio like that is
contributing to the massive bandwidth used for that video, I'd expect
that quality of video (close to "talking heads") to compress to about
350kbps or less, using WMV9 and WMA9.

Try recompressing your source with more standard settings and it
should play on almost every WMP.

Hi Neil,
Thanks for your checking. The server was shut down at night. I am now
making sure that the windows media server will be on 24/7 for your access to
check the error.

The new link is
www.bsirirat.com

Please suggest, what should I do more to resolve this error.
Thanks for you patience.
Bob

Dunno about those links, the old link and the new one you posted are
getting 'server timeout', so I can't see what you're using now ( ~7pm
GMT+0000)

Dear Neil,
Thanks for replying.
I have configure the windows firewall for the Windows media application.
That works well.
The link now has been change to

www.bsirirat.com

I did make the following changes according to your suggestion.
1. The mms: file has a valid domain name (www. bsirirat.com) instead of
BOB-COMPAQ
2. The server is set as DMZ zone to eliminate firewall problem.

However, the error now changes to C00D1197: Cannot play the file

Question:
What else should I try to make sure that the server name get resolved and
solve this new error?
Thanks again
Bob

Dear Expert,

I have trouble playing audio/video files outside of my internal network. The
windows media player 10 shows an Error: CD00D11B3 Network error whenever I
play (both on http: and mms) from the Internet.

The windows media server that has problem is on this link
http://68.183.95.30/default.htm

My configuration

The window media server service 9 series on Windows 2003 SP1

I configure my firewall to open ports according to the Unicast setting
instructions
on
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/serve/firewall.aspx#Unicast

However, I do not understand how to configure this one

MMS UDP 1024-5000 (Out)
Used for delivering data packets to clients that are streaming by using
MMSU. Open only the necessary number of ports.

Do I need to open one of the ports or all 1024-5000 port for MMS UDP?

Or there are other settings that I should do in order to be able to stream
outside of my internal network from the internet?



It's usually rather simpler to add the windows media services EXE file
to the win2003 firewall exclusion list, which then manages opening the
ports based on the requesting process rather than having to manually
open large ranges of ports.

Looking at the web page, the error is quite clear to me :

mms://BOB-COMPAQ/TeamConflict.ASF

BOB-COMPAQ can *never* resolve to an IP address, as it's not a fully
qualified domain name. You need to use either the DNS entry for
BOB-COMPAQ or the external IP address of that box.

My suspicion is somehow you expect that to resolve to the internal IP
address - it won't, and you'll have to investigate any NAT router
manuals you have for the network router to determine how to make that
box accessible externally.

The external network address of your internet connection is the one
which needs to go in the web page for testing, and the router has to
know to pass through requests to that box (you may even have to place
the server in the DMZ, so configure your security very carefully)
