Question : Hyperlinking to chapter points in a WMV file

I need to know if it is possible to achieve the following:

  1.  View the chapter points within a WMV file (if there is such as thing)
  2.  How to use a web page hyperlink to jump to a particular chapter point within the WMV file

I have some video tutorial CDROM's where the interface has hyperlinks which jump the playhead to a particular point in the movie.  I'd like to know whether this functionality can be mirrored in a web page.

Answer : Hyperlinking to chapter points in a WMV file

Hi Rouchie,
Since you want to use external hyperlinks and force the media to a particular point in the movie, there are a couple of ways in which you do this.
1. Create marker and seek to marker
2. Goto a particular second in the movie time line.

Since you already have the movie, re-authoring the movie by including markers is ruled out. So the best way is to do is to set CurrentPosition property. So if the embedded Media Player object id is MediaPlayer, you will have to use the function document.MediaPLayer.CurrentPosition=120, where 120 is the time in seconds to goto. So what you will have to do is first run the movie and identify all your chapter's staring time in second. you can use this second value to build up your urls.

Hope this helps.
