Adding Background Sound
|
- Make .wav in any sound editor such as Goldwave
- And then embed by putting tags into html:
- For Netscape: Embed tags
- For Internet Explorer: BGSOUND tags
- ( Should add both to page as in example)
OR
- Stream the audio to avoid waiting
for the entire file to download by doing the following:
compressing .wav into .ra
or .rm file using RealMedia, then creating .ram text file that
says pnm://www.unc.edu/directory/soundfile.rm
|
- For embedding, look at source code for this page:
- For streaming, see my example
|
|
Adding Video
|
- Make .mpeg or .mov (Quicktime movie) file by using digital video
camera, regular video camera, TV, VCR and use embed src tags (see
example and look at source code)
OR
- make Real Media file (.rm) and .ram txt file (pnm://www.unc.edu/yourdirectory/
yourvideofile.rm) to stream video
