Building a Windows Media Server streaming media server in Windows 2003

Today we are going to make a streaming media server for Windows Media Server streaming media format files.

Some of the available movie files available in the market now have RM format and WMV format. And there are some DivX avi format, to get your server to take all of them, is not no way, now Realsystem's latest streaming media server Software helix servers have supported Windows Media but, so far, No one has cracked its authorization algorithm, OH, authorized price is very expensive, I think a lot of people do not have this purchasing power, we now have to use the Realserver8 has cracked the software, but Realserver8 does not support Windows Media, to achieve "take all", Only two streaming media servers can be set up on one server, and of course if a friend with a streaming media knowledge suggests using Windows Media server.

Windows Media Server's build first step add media Services 9

Windows Media Server is a free streaming server software provided by Microsoft (not really free, and you think about how much windows2003 Professional Edition and Enterprise Edition, but I use pirated) to find it in 2003 CDs, When loading windows2003 can choose this service, if installed 2003 system, you do not choose to add this service, you can add a removal program to choose to add this service (don't tell me you will not install windows2003) Add, your machine already has Windows Media Server service Media Services 9, you can put ASF, WMV and other files into the C:\WMPub\WMRoot, use the mms://address/filename to access the file you put in, oh, how? Easy, huh? However, you can not really use the C disk to store so many streaming media files? What we are going to do is change the home directory of the streaming media server, which means we can create a directory on the other partition to store the files, and when we use the mms://address/filename, we will access the files in the directory you created instead of the files in the C:\WMPub\WMRoot.

Second, install HVC400 Encoder and Nowstream coding software on the server to realize live streaming or regular live broadcast, live streaming pull transfer function, push transfer function of live stream, file save or time saving, etc. Why use Nowstream and HVC 400 encoded cards instead of collecting cards? Because: HVC400 is a high compression ratio, high definition, stable quality MPEG-4 hardware compression card. It is based on the support of the multi-format single chip compression technology products, the technology uses the multiple algorithms to compress the original audio signal and the synthesis of different forms of streaming files, so as to ensure the video and audio synchronization in time. HVC400 supports a variety of file formats including Wmv,divx,mpeg-1,mpeg-2 hardware compression, hardware compression technology greatly saves the resources of the system, so it is easy to implement on the ordinary PC four card at the same time. HVC400 supporting software-nowstream, can support four cards at the same time operation, each card can run independently at different rate and image resolution, simple operation, stable use. HVC400 is also a good choice for high-definition video compression users, which can achieve near-DVD image quality at 1.5Mbps low bit rate.

1. The method of the live stream publishing unicast

1 Open the Nowstream coding software, open the Software settings: Code rate, resolution, video input, etc., to achieve live streaming unicast.
