Most amateurs are using a DV converter and taking the video in through

My company uses the Osprey 560 from Viewcast:

Their more inexpensive card are quite good.  You'll need some very fast

 Hi List,

 I was just going to set up a script to discover it needed a password

 figuring it out. The examples of how to do it so far has been rather
 confusing. I get that there needs to be a .htaccess and .htpasswd but the
 Where and How varies from tutorial to tutorial that I've found.

 Does anyone have a simple way of doing it and wouldn't mind pointing the
 way?

 Much appreciated

[wdvltalk] Re: Newbie: Live Web Feed

2004-01-09 Thread Bankei
The basics for live webcasting are:

Connectivity:  You should have a connection on site that can handle the
bandwidth of the streams you'll be putting out plus overhead.  DSL and
cable need a lot of overhead, T1 or Dual ISDN need very little.

Video and Audio equipment:  You're all set here.

Encoder(s):  You'll need one medium powered, solid PC for every stream
(56k, 100k, 300k, etc.).  Each one needs a capture card, e.g., Osprey 200,
and streaming software, i.e., Windows Media Encoder or Real Producer Plus.

Streaming Server:  No one should attempt to administer their own Streaming
Server unless they are extremely comfortable with Web server Admin.  A lot
of companies offer this service.  Playstream is about average and very
up-front about their prices:

http://playstream.com/services/live.asp

About 98% of people who look into live streaming find it too difficult
and too expensive.  They usually end up encoded the video after the event
and offering it on demand a few days later.

[wdvltalk] Re: No show mpg?

2003-11-09 Thread Bankei

As it always is with video links, you should be using a metafile (asx) and
make sure that your server's MIME types are set correctly for wmv and asx.
This will insure that it plays in all circumstances, assuming that the WM
Player is installed.

I'm sending this from a unix account; makes it a bit difficult to find all
the relevent links.  Google playlists asx metafiles and check out the
second result for how to create asx files.  Google set MIME asx and try
the first result for how to set the proper MIME types on various servers.

If you're on a unix server you can set the MIME types using .htaccess.
Google set MIME .htaccess

You're going to pay for this one way or the other.  The easy way is to
contract for streaming servers and bandwidth from a company like
Playstream (www.playstream.com).  The hard way is to put up your own
server using the freebie Real Server.

I've had inquiries like this from PTA's, Homeowner groups, Churches, etc.
As soon as they find out what it costs in equipment and servers they drop
the idea.

[wdvltalk] Re: Publish video?

2003-07-15 Thread Bankei

You have a few choices to make.  The most important is streaming vs.
progressive download vs. download.

streaming:  the video streams in real time from a streaming server (i
recommend www.playstream.com).  Use Real or Windows Media

Progressive Download:  Video starts playing during download when the
player feels that it can keep up.  You can do this with QuickTime, Real or
Windows Media but you'll need to sort out MIME types and metafiles for
Real or Windows Media.

Dawnload:  You can just download the file to play on the client machine.
This works for the big 3 but works very well using MPEG-1 (playable in any
player).

Most companies don't bother to embed Real or Windows Media.  To get an
embed tag for QuickTime go to www.metroencoding.com/viewdemos.html and
view source on any of the QuickTime demos.

Microsoft has all but won the race.  Best video compression, most players
installed.  There are a few instances where you might use Real or
QuickTime, e.g.:  Real has the best audio codecs at low bitrates,
QuickTime has the best looking video codec if you don't care about file
size or download speeds.

9 times out of 10 it's going to be Windows Media.

[wdvltalk] RE: Need help to create Streaming Video on an intranet

2002-11-16 Thread Bankei
Real is your first choice in this case only because you have the video
encoded in Real already.  You only need to install the player on all of
your machines.  windows Media should always be the first thought because
of the install base, every Windows machine.

Whether you use Real, WM, or QuickTime, it is true that there is no great
need to install a streaming server.  All three formats will do a faststart
progressive download through your intranet using metafiles.  SMIL is a
little extreme though.  You can use a .ram file as a link, it's no more
than a URL in a text file with a .ram extension.


On Wed, 13 Nov 2002, Scott Anderson (PayRight) wrote:

 The real media format is the easiest to stream, even if you don't have a

 different bit rates that a user might connect at. If you are streaming
 windows media though, you will have to divy up some cash to get a
 windows media server and the windows media encoder, because they don't
 offer a free version like Real Media (don't quote me on this). So which
 format are you planning on using?
