Windows Media™ On-Demand Producer, co-developed by Microsoft and Sonic Foundry, simplifies the creation of streaming media content. Both experienced Web developers and novice streaming media authors can easily create streaming files, giving end users instant media playback instead of requiring them to wait for files to download.

Note: Since the sale of Sonic Foundry's software product line to Sony, and the discontinuation of the Stream Anywhere product upon which the Windows Media On-demand Producer was based, this product is no longer available from Microsoft. The program (Wmodp.exe) may still be available from some third-party sources.
