I want to stream a Live Broadcast on LAN. I have a sony DV camera connected to my PC using Firewire. I am using windows media encoder 9.

The stream is not upto the mark, even at the lowest quality setting (on the windows medis encoder) there is a delay about 10 secs on the clients (my Lan runs at 100 MBPS) even where there are only 2-3 users viewing.

I tried it with my logitech webcam and it worked better but i wanted to use the video camera and not the webcam since i want to save the programme in the tape too.

Any help will be appreciated.

Secondly i cant stream the contents of a live TV using the Windows Media Encoder. The source being a cable TV connected to my TV tuner Card. As soon as i click the Start encoding i get the device not attached error in the left hand side bottom screen. my Tuner card is working fine as i can capture videos from it using other softwares.

My system is P4 2.8 with 512+128 DDR Ram.
