ONLINE BROADCASTING

STATUS: OFFLINE

I know a lot of threads ask about online broadcasts and similar services like that. Today I stumbled across webcastXP its made by the same people that make webcamXP. Its in Beta, but it works fine, and further more its free to use with no limitaions - for personal use. It uses a webcam or similar image capture device, possibly even DV camcorder - I'm not sure on that though. It then streams the images (and SOUND!) to an embeded windows media window. Which you can then copy the source and put on your own site.

Check it out and see what its like - tell me what you think. Check out www.freewebs.com/server2

very good.......any chance you can make it more interesting, pull some faces ?

Very good indeed. Just saw your message to TVmole. Good stuff.

Is this a TV Forum first?
Thanks guys - DAS and TVMole the first ones to interact with another forumer via a webcast!!!!

where abouts in Dorset do you live?

I'm in Bournemouth.

Shant give too much away.
I live 5 mins from Bournemouth!

Lol.

Really, weird, I'm watching you! Lol. Kind of like that movie!

BTW... You went to a certain School in Bournemouth, which you joined in 2001.

Success!!

I had over 8 people watch me at once, with no slow down to my computer (*cough*)
I want to see other peoples webcasts poping up now. I hope I've started a trend!

Thanks for you participation.

What would Norm do?

Well I've tried, and failed. Plug the camcorder into the computer, and usual capture programs pick up the picture but the Webcast thing won't pick it up.

Have you gone:

Video > Connect
And the selected your camera from the list?

Yep. Comes up with an error message:

One or more of the arguments are invalid ($80070057)
