a) Select "Web server (progressive download)" and click the "Next" button to proceed to the next step. This will cause the Windows Media Encoder to generate a file that will work well as a both a video on a web site or as a video file on a CD-ROM (or other media).

b) On a web site, the video can be viewed as soon as it begins downloading, somewhat like a live, steamed video but without requiring a special streaming server to be used. However, unlike a streamed version, it will not be able to adjust to the viewer's bandwidth, so viewers without the necessary bandwidth will need to download the file before playing it.

c) As a file, it can be copied and used like any other video file. This means that it can be burned to a CD-ROM without any additional changes or conversion.

d) Click the "Next" button to proceed to the next step.
