Depends on the format of the Movie. You can do a quicktime server and stream
it if everyone has Quicktime or set up Windows Media Server which is also
free and stream it down that way. Another way to do it if the file is an
mpg and not to big is to drop the file in your web servers directory and
give the users a link to it.... http://mydomain.com/movie.mpg should work
If you use front page go here

For quicktime if it is out there...

Or the Darwin Streaming Server

Hope this is enough to get you started.

Subject: [THIN] Video Emergency
I was just instructed by the CEO to get a windows
media video file to our users in the next 15 minutes.
I'm not sure how I'm going to get this going, but
apparently my job depends on it...
For a little information about our network, we have
branches with 512k pipes heading to Wyse Thin clients
from 2300 to 3600. Each office has 25-35 users. Our
servers are Dual 1.2 GHz P3 with 1 GB RAM that support
25-35 users each. On the bright side, we did go ahead
and put WiMP 9 on each of the servers "for future
use."
I have not yet received the video file that I'm
supposed to have all of the users watch, so I don't
know the size, resolution, codec, etc.
Is there anything I can do to make this happen right
now?
Have any of you been faced with a similar challenge?
Thanks in advance,
Michael Saul
