What do you use to make streaming video
 

Any recomendations on an easy program I could use to create streaming video from my website?

Im not looking for anything fancy. I just want an easy way to turn VHS video into a webformat that can be watched on my site.

Any suggestions?


Thanks :)

I use Adobe premiere. It was complicated for me to figure out till i had a friend tell me how the program works then it was pretty simple from there...good luck

from VHS... good luck... not that great in quality... but then again.. I could be doing it wrong lol... I have one too... old NEC... not happy with the results to digital..

Good luck :)

dude, do you not check icq anymore?

Buy videocard with TV-in. There are loads of free tools to convert to anything streaming.

Best way is to buy yourself a video capture card. Personally I like the Hauppauge line of vid capture cards -- the PVR-250 or PVR-350 work great for this, and are a separate card from your video card (unlike the ATI all-in-wonder cards).

So basically you'll hook your vcr up to the vid capture card (make sure to use the s-video jack for better video results), and use the software that came with your captue card to capture one long-ass mpeg in whatever quality you want. Most of these software bundles have profiles with different size and/or framerate settings and such, so you can choose which works best.

Once you have this big mpeg file on your PC, you can then use a tool like TMPEGEnc to split it up into smaller mpeg clips. And if you wanted to go one step further and save yourself some bandwidth, you could even go with Windows Media files (WMV). The Windows Media Encoder is the tool for that.

Good luck!

I use Pinnacle studio to creat the streaming vids for my site. It's very easy to use.
