To create a Windows Media Encoder settings file

1. Start PowerPoint. On the Tools menu, point to Windows Media Presenter, and click New Windows Media Encoder Settings File to create an .nse file.

   The Windows Media Encoder Settings dialog box appears.
   

2. In the Encoder box, type the path to the computer running Windows Media Encoder. If Windows Media Encoder is running on the PowerPoint station, accept the default setting of localhost.
3. In the BaseURL dialog box, type the URL for the location of the slides on the IIS server. The BaseURL is important because when you move from slide to slide in the presentation, Windows Media Presenter appends the name of each image to the URL and then sends this URL as a script command to the client.
4. On the Image Format menu, select the same format specified when the slides were exported to the Internet Information Services (IIS) server. JPEG is recommended for higher-quality images.
5. Select Ignore errors from Windows Media Encoder. This allows you to continue your presentation regardless of encoding errors. If this is not selected, the PowerPoint presentation ends if Windows Media Encoder fails.
6. Choose Start new Windows Media Encoder if you want Windows Media Presenter to start a new Windows Media Encoder session. Select the Windows Media Encoder configuration (.asd) file that you want to use with the presentation.

   Or, choose Connect to run Windows Media Encoder if you want Windows Media Presenter to connect to an existing Windows Media Encoder session.

   If you choose to connect to a running Windows Media Encoder, you can select Reconfigure using ASD file to change the encoderÆs configuration settings.

7. To apply these settings to the open presentation, select Use this configuration with the current slide show.
