Set duration in Windows Media
A quick way to create shorter clips out of longer ones without video editing: set the Starttime and Duration parameters in the ASX file.
Example ASX file:
<ASX version = "3.0"> <Title>the title of the video/s</Title> <Entry> <StartTime Value="00:09:36.00" /> <Ref href = "mms://myvideoserver.com/myvideo.wmv" /> <DURATION value="00:00:05.00"/> </Entry> </ASX>
