the right profile for the
required type of output.
Profiles determine the type
of codec used for record-
ing, the streaming bitrate,
video framerate and video
resolution.

Example

: WM9_

384K(30fps).prx – this
profile will encode to a
Windows Media file using
Windows Media codec 9,
at 30 frames per second
and a bitrate suitable for a
384K Internet connection.

Streaming path

. By default,

the streaming path in writer
information has the following
format: mms://(local)/
If this path is specified and
the writer has a Serverpush
or Network Output, the
conference will be streamed
live from the embedded
Windows Media Streaming
Server.
If you leave this field
blank, or the writer has
no Serverpush or Network
outputs, the conference will
not be streamed live.

On demand path

. By default,

the on demand path in writer
information has the following
format: mms://(local)/
If this path is specified and the

on demand. However, it can still
be recorded if the writer has a
File Output specified.
