Dear Bill,

Have you used VIDTOASF to convert an AVI file to ASF before?  If you've
done so, you're 95% of the way there.  To add URLs, events, markers and
file information to an ASF that's been converted from .AVI or .MOV,
you'll need to create a script file.  Just go into Notepad or your
favorite text editor, and type the following.  [The parts in brackets
are my comments.  Also, note that the only section you'd need just to do
the URL flips you ask about is the Start_Script_Table to
End_Script_Table part.  I just added the other part in case anyone is
wondering how to add file information and markers.]

Title:                  title of your ASF file
Author:         author name
Copyright:      (c) 1997 your company name
Rating:         rating [G, PG, whatever]
Description:    description in detail

Start_Script_Table

        [time with hour:minute:second.fraction] 00:00:10.1 URL
http://www.microsoft.com/netshow
        00:00:30.3 URL http://www.microsoft.com/netshow&framename [this one
targets a specific frame]
        00:00:47.2 Eventname Parameter [this is how you would stream script
events]

End_Script_Table

Start_Marker_Table

        [time with hour:minute:second.fraction] 00:00:10.1 Marker description
one [This is like a book mark]
        00:00:30.3 Marker description two
        00:01:10.2 Marker description three

End_Marker Table

Now, save the file as whatever you want (e.g., script.txt).  Then go to
DOS, and to the directory containing your source files and type the
following:

        VIDTOASF -in aviname.avi -audiofile wavfilename.wav -out newasfname.asf
-leadtime 5000 -script script.txt

Then push enter and it should work like a charm.  If it doesn't, let us
know.

Cheers!
Nancy
