Batching Video Requests In Asp
I need some help with making an asp website that will batch user requests for a particular video file, and then once a few requests are made for a video, play that video to the browsers that requested it (after a certain period of time). Physical path links to the video files are stored on an access database and the videos are loaded to be played from that database. (These files will be located in the IIS web server directory).
An example of this is when a request is made wait till you get 4 more requests and then play the video to the 5 browsers requesting the video, or play the video after for exampele 15 minutes, even if only 1 request is made. This is therefore a near video-on-demand "NVOD" system in asp. The problem is, I don't know where to start, and although I have done a lot of searches on the web I am still not getting anywhere with this.

Database: Access 2000
Host: Maximum ASP
I am trying to work out the best way to send bulk email below the 1000 mark
(about 800).
I understand that I could either use ASPEmail or CDO although I believe that
ASPEmail may be superior in that it offers SENDQUEUE command which will
allow me to loop through my customer database and insert them into the TO
fields.
1. Could the above be confirmed?
2. I wish my mailing list to be invisible - I don't want the mailing list to
be evident in the recipients email...is this just a question of looping them
into the BCC field?
3. I remember seeing some posts a while ago highlighting problems with the
SendQueue Method.... what are the curve balls with this approach.
My web host tells me I can send upto a 1000 per day yet www.aspfaq.com says
about 800. How do I tackle this task correclty. I cannot move up to SQL
Server or MSDE yet and I do not have access to a mail server...

We have two Win2003 webfarms each consisting of 5 servers.Which we call and cluster2. Cluster2 is the bussiest of these two and periodicaly (varies from 2 times per day to two times per week) one of the servers (this is pretty random) starts to build up Requests Executing.
During this 'queueing' it still serves about approx. 75% of the requests.requests that don't come back with an answer are added to the Requests Executing count.This goes on until 100 requests are queued then it starts throwing errors like:"The CreateObject of '(null)' caused exception C0000005"
To me it seems like one of the 4 worker processes is not responding anymore.Is there a way to see why this is happening?SQL server doesn't report any locks.

I seem to have some sort of security issue with my web server and was hoping someone out there might be able to help me. I am attempting to perform an HTTP GET against some .asp pages on my webserver and the request just seems to timeout.
When I perform the GET against any .htm page, all works fine, but any .asp page will timeout, even something just containing one line of html. Since all is fine with .htm pages, I do not believe this is a code issue, but rather some kind of security/permission issue. The web server is WinXP Pro SP1.

I have a form. When I do action="POST" I can see the changes done by looking at ---- for example request("MyBox")
Where MyBox is a dropdown box and by doing request("MyBox") I get the selected value.
Is there a way I can get the number of requests done? (i.e if I had 3 dropdown boxes then I get 3).
Also is there a way to get a list of the names of all the requests (i.e if I had 3 dropdown boxes then I get MyBox1 MyBox2 MyBox3)

On server A I've a web application WA1. Inside WA1 there are a virtual directory VD1 and an ASP page named page1.asp. Inside VD1 there is another ASP page named page2.asp.
page1.asp makes a ServerXMLHTTP requests for page2.asp.
If Debugging Flags on WA1 are enabled the request seems to be blocked,
if those flags are disabled everything seems to be ok.
Is my problem really solved ?

I was asked if it was possible to send Outlook Meeting Requests through ASP. I know how to send mail using Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail") but I don't know if sending a meeting request (with buttons Accept, Decline, Tentative) is possible.
I have a form which grabs the date, time, and location of the meeting but currently its just sent through regular email.

I have never programmed in ASP in fact I am not a programmer at all. I found this script that sends an email that pulls information from a contact form.
'Sends an email
Dim mail
Set mail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
mail.To = "youremail@yahoo.com"
mail.From = Request.Form("your_email")
mail.Subject = "Contacts"
mail.TextBody = Request.Form("your_message")
mail.Send()
Response.Write("Thank you for visiting!")
Destroy the mail object!
Set mail = nothing
I got it to work with my flash contact form however on the form I have two other fields. Name and Phone number that I want to tack onto the TextBody but I do not know how to do this.

I need to have a web page with information sent to another server for
processing (sql query, etc.) but instead of the information going directly
back to the browser, I need it to go to the original server for after
processing. Is this possible and can someone point me in the right
direction. It may be similar to the way credit card transactions are handled
but I'm not sure.

When simultaneous requests to open an Access Database occur, the Jet Database engine returns an error stating: Cannot Open file, already in use.
I know this occurs because I'm using a file-based Access database, and it's locked while data access is taking place. However, at this time, its the only platform available on the site.
My question is, can I somehow use an On Error GoTo Blah statement to catch the error, clear it, and then attempt the ADODB.Connection.Open statement again?

I have 404.asp file that catches non existing pages such as www.site.com/es for spanish version of site. Now I would like to move ahead and have es.site.com instead. I started digging into subdomains in IIS and found out that usually when creating subdomain in IIS it creates a separate sub-directory by the same name as the subdomain created. From some reason the custom error 404.asp file I already have is not called when a call to a non existing sub domain page is made.
Anyone knows why?
How do I configure 404.asp to also handle subdomain page requests?
I know that in Unix/Apache I can use .htaccess file to direct calls to es.site.com to www.site.com/es quite easily, can this be done somehow on IIS?

I have a pc as a web server, i have some asp pages on it and functions
perfectly, recently bought a tv card so i can watch tv on my pc and installed

the tv card so others in my lan can watch live tv trough an asp page.

I need to make an asp site that is linked to a database which holds the pysical paths to several video files. A user to the site can request a particular video and once a few requests have been made to the same video, the requests are batched and then the video is loaded from the database into the users browsers, so in other words...Near video on demand (NVOD).
I cannot find any information on the web to help me achieve this, and so I hope somebody here will be able to help me. How do I go about creating such a system!! Where do I start?

I am writing an ASP application that deals with the TV tapes and two of the fields is what I am having issues with. I need to store the duration of the program i.e. DURATION field only to accept Numerical entries in the form 000:00:00 (min:secs:frames).
I also need to store the TIMECODE field only to accept Numerical entries in the form 00:00:00:00 (hours:mins: secs:frames). What datatype should I be using in my Access 2000/ 2003 database. How can I validate this field when allowing users to add the correct
data.

I'm about to venture onto a new project of developing an ASP Page that captures images from a streaming web camera, and displays them (refreshs) the image every 15 seconds.
The question I have, is it possible to capture images (every 15 secs- from the webcam on the intranet) and store that snap shot as say a .jpg file in a folder, and then have the ability to continuously add images to this folder, so at a later date you could develop a system that would display photo after photo simultaneously, fast motion of the project in action.

Can someone help me regarding Capturing Image from a Video in ASP. what I have achieved is this, I have run the video using Media Player Active-X Control and have got a button control on which I have initiated a component known as Media Processor, which saves the frame according to current position supplied in a picture format. But the problem is that it doesn't support files greater than 300 MB or so. I want to have a support of upto 2 GB files. Moreover, I have to keep in consideration the performance issues, it shouldn't get my server down. Can someone give me any idea about any component for this job, I have been able to find out only this on different locations. I have got another one that is working well in VB, but there is a problem with using in ASP. I am using Media Player just because of buffering, actually I want is kind of streaming so that the server gets minimum load. How to achieve this?

I'm trying to create a page that allows user upload video clips to my server.
What do I want from this operation is:
1. User upload a video clip (.mpg) to a folder
2. The path to that folder will be stored in a database
3. Display a screenshot of the video clip on the main page
4. It brings ppl to the video player page after ppl clicked on the screenshot.
So far many ppl have telling me it is doable with PHP, how about with ASP?
