I'm newbie here and would like to learn fast video capturing and streaming live.
I have some important event (parents silver wedding) on my location and have some offshore relative that would like to witness the event live too. I dont want to disappoint them and have promised to make it happen. There are about 15 of them on remote places.
The hardware i have here is my laptop IBM Lenovo T42 and video cam Sony DCR TRV22.
The venue will be held in a place installed with WI-FI, so i have access on internet while on gathering.
My setting-up my video live stream and have installed on my PC the Windows Media encoder.
I click on Brodcast Live Event but it doesnt show video input and output when i start to encode it.
Do i miss something?
Please help... I need to keep my promise...
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I know it's possible to stream video using VideoLan, but it takes some experience to setup.

Alternatively look at this guide for Windows Media Encoder

If the camcorder will be close to the laptop and the laptop has IEEE-1394, you can probably get higher quality feeding DV format to the Windows Media Encoder rather than CIF off the USB.
All this needs thorough testing and rehearsal with the very same equipment that will be used wedding day. Also clear everyone else off the WiFi or better hard wire (Ethernet) the laptop to the router. Check the upload spec on the connection. Half that will determine your max encoding rate. Hopefully you have a T1 there.
WME allows for multiple quality bitrates. Make one of them appropriate for a dialup connection unless you know everyone has wideband.
WME supports a limted set of connections in pull mode. Each connection needs unique upload bandwidth. You will need to contract space on a Windows Media Exchange server to support 15 connections. In that case, you feed one uplink to the server and the server services the 15 clients.Recommends: Kiva.org - Loans that change lives.
