Experiencing Multimedia 207
The Streaming Media program allows you to play
3GP
and
MPEG-4
files.
It also supports playback of SDP (Session Description Protocol) files. An
SDP file is a text file that contains the format, broadcast times, media
content, and other information about a live broadcast, or it may contain a
playlist and links to prerecorded media files if you are viewing on-demand
streaming media.
