For creating a .wmv video file for the web, I suggest you consider the
free Windows Media Encoder described at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5691BA02-E496-465A-BBA9-B2F1182CDF24&displaylang=en
.. In a typical case, you might capture some video from whatever source
you have with a video capture card or external capture device. It is
most usual to capture as a high resolution .mpg video file. There are
many programs that can be used to edit .mpg movie files, if need be.
Then you use the Windows Media Encoder to convert the .mpg video file
to a .wmv file suited for the web. If you are wishing to stream
(progressive download) the video, the encoder allows you to select bit
rates best suited for dialup, low end broadband or high end broadband.
Or you can make 3 .wmv files for different bit rates and allow the user
to select the best one for the type of isp they have.
The Windows Media Encoder can be used for many other things, and you
can even use it to run your own streaming radio or video web station.
However, that use is for those who have much money to spend, because
the high speed connection from your computer to a streaming media
server and rental of the server is very expensive indeed.
