How can I make my finished presentation streamable?

If you have already created your media with MS producer or Adobe Premiere, you must then encode your media by using MS Media Encoder. After encoding, save the file and give it to  the Media Services Administrator who will then publish the file.

What is the difference between MS Producer and MS Media Encoder?

MS Producer is an easy way to capture video, audio, and still images. The media must still be encoded by MS Media Encoder before it can be streamed. MS Media Encoder is used to encode media (avi., .wav, .mp3, ect.) to be streamed from the server. It can capture video, audio, and stills, but it is not as versatile as MS producer.

How long will it take to create a basic video (or audio) presentation?

This depends on how long you want your presentation to be. If the presentation 15 minutes of video, it will take about 40-60 minutes to produce a end product?
