Inserting a Windows Media Command |
|
Windows Media commands are embedded metadata you can place throughout a media file. Each command is synchronized with a specific time in the multimedia stream and is handled by the media player.
Commands allow streaming media files to jump to other Web pages and display text such as headings and captions.
From the Special menu, choose ASF Markers/Commands and choose Add Command from the submenu.
Use the Add Marker/Region dialog to specify parameters for your command:
Specify a command parameter in the Name box.
Specify a time in the Start box.
Choose a time format from the Input Format drop-down list.
Click the OK button.
