Hi Neil and thank you for responding.
The H264 works well for me using a Core 2 Duo, still uses most of the
processing power though. I will worry more about that if I get the below to
work.
Have you successfully run vlc transcode that WMS can accept and redistribute?
I don not see any options that will name the stream so WMS can recognize it?
(for testing am viewing a wmv file to simplify things)
:sout=#std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=10.0.0.101/live2:80} (does not work)
:sout=#std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=10.0.0.101:80,name=live} (does not work)
(Sorry I know this not a VideoLan forum..)
When you say “re-packetise†is that transcoding the stream to wmv2 / mp3?
Using Server 2003 Enterprise edition
I see the archiving option but I am not sure that will help me.
I will try to explain myself better.
So let’s I have a live broadcast that has been streaming for 10 minutes now.
The goal is to let any user “seek†back to any point in the broadcast watch a
reply and then fast-forward or jump to current live portion of the stream
again.
Live broadcast stream
Archived VoD portion live stream adding to the VoD
continually

Am I missing something and there is an easy way to do this?
Thanks,
Jon
