Windows Media and Markers Question?

Is it possible to have hyperlinks that when clicked go to a certain spot in a WM file and play for a certain duration? The WM files will be streamed if that makes a difference.

I guess what I need to create is a hyperlinked table of contents to play portions of a WM file so soneone can go directly to and play a portion of the Video. And if this can be done point me in the right direction on how.

Any nelp appreciated.
Thanks,
MadMikey

You will have to split the WMV file up into separate files for each section. You can then create a text file with the extension .wvx that contains the URLs of each separate WMV file. The hyperlink will link to the .wvx file which will load the associated .wmv file into media player. In order to play the whole thing you can create a .wvx file with a list of all the sections in order and MediaPlayer will step through them automatically. There may be a slight delay as it switches to each section. Of course, if you want to have any section play through to the end, then each section's .wvx file should contain not just the URL of it's own .wmv file but also all those that follow it.

Thanks Chien for the quck answer.

I was hoping there was some sort of marker I could imbed and then specify to avoid having to break up the file.

I'll give your instructions a try.... thanks again for the help.
