•StreamPlayerPlus allows the recording of live streams to MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 files. Once saved the files can then be installed on the EtherneTV VOD-W server for playback. Make sure the "hinting" option is checked when recording MPEG-4 files.

•When recording MPEG-4 and MPEG-2 files using StreamPlayer Plus software, it is advisable to keep the length of the record to under 50 minutes to facilitate creating playlists and keep viewing time manageable.

•As the disks become full, the performance of head-seek times diminishes and streaming performance may be affected. Purge unnecessary files and defragment as appropriate.

•Do not use spaces in filenames. Use underscores; for example: my_history_class.mp4.

•Apple QuickTime 6.5 or higher, with native MPEG-4 support, is the recommended MAC desktop player for accessing MPEG-4 files from the EtherneTV VOD-W. QuickTime supports the Seek feature (accessed through a slider-bar) for MPEG-4 streams. Make

sure Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Settings > Streaming Transport option is set to Automatically determine the best protocol and port ID or to Use UDP, RTSP Port ID 554.

•Over time, frequent asset additions and deletions may fragment the hard drive and degrade VOD-W performance. To work around this issue and optimize performance, you should periodically defragment the disk using the standard Windows defrag utility on

the Accessories > System Tools menu.
