NSC stands for NetShow Channel, the former name of the service. NSC files are text files that contain stream configuration information enabling NetShow clients to connect to a multicast stream coming from a NetShow server. NetShow 2.0 was the first commercial streaming media system to support multicast streaming. Windows Media Services is Microsoft's latest product for generating multicast streams and these proprietary, partially encrypted NSC files are still used. September 2, 2005, The Register published news that DVD Jon had defeated encryption in Microsoft's Windows Media Player by reverse engineering a proprietary algorithm that was ostensibly used to protect Media Player NSC files from engineers sniffing for the files' source IP address, port or stream format. Johansen had also made a decoder available. http://nanocr. eu/2005/08/31/reversing-nsc/
