Archiving your Live stream
New to Clipstream™ Live in version 2.5 is the ability to archive. Make a change in the Server Settings and the application will save the file in Clipstream™ Video format in whatever time intervals you require.

1. Start Clipstream™ Live
Find the Clipstream™ Live application icon and launch it.


2. Click on the Help menu

Once Clipstream™ Live is running, choose Server Settings from the Settings menu.



This will bring up the Server Settings window:



3. Choose an Interval
Click in the Interval field and enter a number to represent an interval that you want Clipstream™ Live to record to disk for you. You can also choose from a preselected interval by clicking on the drop down icon. Choosing an interval means that you can save long videos and not fill up your hard drive.


4. Check "Save to File"

This will make the three fields underneath it editable.


5. Browse to save the archive files
Now choose a location to which your archive video files will be saved.

Note: The folder you specify must be located under the "www" folder in the same folder where you installed the Clipstream™ Live application (default: c:program_files/Clipstream/Clipstream™ Live/)

Click Browse and then open up the Program_Files folder until you have opened up the Clipstream™ Live installed folder.



You can create a new folder as long as it is underneath the "www" folder. Type a name for it such as "archive" and then press OK.

Press OK again to close the Server Settings window.

A dialog will open telling you to restart your stream.



6. Exit Clipstream™ Live and Restart
Go to the File menu and choose Exit. Then launch Clipstream™ Live again.

7. Test the Live archiving
Start broadcasting by clicking the Start / Stop button.



Allow the stream to continue for however long you want for your test.

Note: You must allow enough time according to the interval you selected in the Server Settings.

8. Test the Live archiving

To test the archiving, first Stop/Start the webcast. Then go to the File menu and select View Archive List.



This will bring up a browser window that has a list of any archives you have saved.


Click on any of these. They are hyperlinks to a Clipstream™ Video page that has the saved video.

Allowing others to view your archive on the web

This allows you to view your archived clips locally from the machine where the Clipstream Live application is running. However, if you wish to view it on a website remotely (or allow others to do so), you must upload these clips and the software needed to view them.
