Re: Live Event and SAMI |

The first hit in google for "SAMI example" goes here : is that what
you're after ?

SAMI files are not real-time, they need to be created after a
presentation so they can be replayed in totality (you can't send
'snippets' of the .smi file unfortunately).
The W3C have a "Timed Text" initiative to cover this sort of scenario,
as usual with the W3C the TT spec is verbose and hard to interpret -
I'm not sure if it's been finalised yet, but it's a moot point as
there are no players currently supporting this functionality ;-)
The other option really is limited to sending script commands in the
WM stream, which you create by adding them to the script command
window as a "TEXT" script command type in the WM Encoder. Timing
though is going to be a problem, and you'll need a professional
captioner to be able to get any meaningful results in realtime.
They can be displayed in the player, or you can intercept the script
commands from a player embedded in a web page, and display them in a
DIV for example.

As good as any, yes. The windowsmedia.sdk group might be of help too.
