How a .wmv file works

The link above points to a file that contains this text. You may copy and paste this text into a new text file and name it with a .wvx or asx extension as a starting point for your own file. This example also applies to audio files.

The first part of the link points to a file residing on a server and in this case it is a streaming media file residing in the streaming media root of the web server.

mms://web.cerritos.edu/av/cr/BUSC139_BarkleyLuna_bb.wvx

The second part of the link references the text transcript file residing in the browseable part of a web server. Sami is short for Microsoft Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange.

?sami=http://e-courses.cerritos.edu/video-smi/cr/BUSC139_BarkleyLuna.smi

The file contains time codes in milliseconds that trigger captions as the file plays. You may copy and paste the text below and save into a new text document as a .smi file to begin your own SAMI file.
