HCID Term Project

It looks like there are a few formats and tools I can take a look at to complete this project. I'd either like to be able to interpret data that uses the mms:\\ or the rtsp:\\ protocols, or alternatively read .asx files.

There's a few places I've found information concerning each of these formats:
-- ASX
-- RTSP
-- MMS

As well, I may just use the Microsoft Windows Media Player Development SDK in my program in order to stream the data.

-- Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 Development SDK

Senior Project Preliminary Work

The first few things that need to be done for Senior Project are coming up quite quickly. I need to put together project training packages for each team member, write up job descriptions for each of the roles on the project, create a breakdown of all tasks and put them on a timeline, complete the preliminary proposal, finish the story outline and write the script.
