Streaming Video

[JamesB69]

I have an ATI AIW 128 PCI and was wondering if it was possible to take a signal from any of the inputs and combine it with the audio and stream it over the internet in real time with little or no delay. I have 768K upload speed. If it is cheap enough, I could purchase a different card if absolutely necessary.

yes, it's possible. for example, you can run Windows Media Encoder and clients can connect to it directly without the need for a windows media server. I'd recommend using an older version if possible, only because I don't know if you can still connect to the encoder in WM9. Last version used to let you connect to it with http://encoder.ip/streamname or thereabouts, and the 4.1 version let you use mms:// as well.

Lots of other ways to do this, this is only one suggestion.

maybe i dont know how to use the software but whenever i click start it tells me a device is not working. Thats all it says and gives some sort of code. For the video device i tried it on default and the Brooktree chip. Then the audio lists my sound card and default.

Maybe i dont understand but shouldnt there be a setting in there somewehre so i tell it to stream from the coaxial input? This would be the audio and video.

Ughh anybody with experience in something like this feel free to give me a walkthrough.

sorry for the multiple posts

just an update though i can stream out whatever is on the screen but it says an attatched device is not functioning when i choose the capture card.

Ihave now found out that Windows media encoder 7.1 does not support my video card and 4.1 is not available for download.

Does anybody else know of a different piece of software that will allow me to broadcast an input on my capture card over the internet, like streaming video?

Any help is appreciated. I have been asked to stream a wedding over the internet as it happens.

Thanks.
