Further more, I have enquire that CityTV center, they give me such info
about the media format as follows:

our CityTV broadcasting service, will only entertain those media players
which can support/decode the following codec formats for streaming:-

- multimedia data file bears the (asf/asx) file extensions ;
- streaming formats using in CityTV:
Video : Microsoft Mpeg- 4 codec V2 [320 x 240, 25fps]
Audio : Mpeg Layer-3 (16KB/s, 11kHz, mono)


Any suggestions? Thanks.
