Dan,

We are trying to broadcast the video so that it can be viewed by Windows
Media Player clients. I can get this to work using my Unicast IP
address, but when I change to a multicast address the functionality
ceases. Both machines are on the same subnet so there are no routing
issues to worry about (yet!)

I am using MMSH as my transport, ASF/WMV encapsulation and MP3 for
audio.

Any ideas? Is MMS:// restricted to unicast functionality?

Thanks,

Daniel

VLC http://www.videolan.org/ can do some amazing things. It
definitely can take video from a capture card and stream it out in
multicast as well as a bunch of other ways.
