There are two ways to play a streaming media file. The first one is through an external Media Player. If you haven't install it yet on your computer, this link will connect you immediately to the download area:

Get Windows Media Player

To invoke the external Media Player, just place a link to an asf or ASX file in your Web page. To see a live demo of a streaming media, try this story about a turtle. The minimum modem baud rate should be 28.8K. The video stream will look more like still pictures with lower-rate communication link.
