I have been using asx or wvx to link to streaming wmv files but have never really understood why this is necessary. The question is when, if ever, should I use .asx? I sometimes find media will not stream with asx but will with wvx.

The ASX and the WVX files are the exact same thing and contain the same information. WVX is simply what Microsoft decided to call the ASX file in Windows Media 7. To ensure backward compatibility I would continue to use ASX.

I have a server hosting my video files. Streaming swf and flv files to users using Internet Explorer is no problem- the videos can be seen in the browser.

I'm starting a new production business and have been stumped trying to figure out a fair pricing scheme for encoding video for the web.

Anyone know of the best way to take screenshots of video on a PC?
