This is in reference to two of my machines, I'll call home and remote. The remote is a Dell 4500 running XP Pro, 256 megs RAM, with a security camera connected to the composite input of a Hauppauge WinTV-GO card. I connect from my home with pcAnywhere and using Windows Media Encoder 7.00.00.2965, I begin a new broadcast session, select the Hauppauge card as the capture device, choose a profile (bit rate, kbps etc) and start encoding.

At my home machine, a Dell 8200 running XP Pro, I then open Windows Media Player 6.4 (mplayer2.exe), and open the file on the remote through the port (8080) that's supposed to be braodcasting the video stream, but all I usually get in the video window is a screen with the bottom 3/4 dark green, and the top 1/4 a mixture of black, purple and dark red dots, in motion like "snow" on a TV.

I know the signal from the camera is getting to the Hauppauge card, because I can open the WinTV application on the remote using pcAnywhere and choose "Snapshot", and I can see the still image. I also have downloaded the latest WDM drivers for the Hauppauge card.

Does anyone have any ideas what might be going on...any significance to that particular color pattern on the screen.?
