Okay, I wrote Cscript and saved to a notepad file with a .bat
extention. Does that make a bat?

here it is:

run D:\winnt\system32\cscript.exe //S wmcmd.vbs -wme
mywebcammultihilowlow.wme -broadcast 1053 -profile v20 -v_codec wmv7
-v_width 320 -v_height 240 -v_framerate 15 -title Our_webcam

When I open the command prompt and run the script directly its
fantastic. The Endoder interface doesnt even open and it definitely
broadcasts to my website and my domain url
http://video-freak.kicks-ass.net:1053

And I finally have found a friend who can actually see the broadcast
on their own Internet connection

While the script is great saving into the supposed batch file and
placing that in the startup folder renders absolutely nothing at the
loading of windows. I didn't know if I need to have that "run" word
there or not. So I tried without it. Nothing. I'm running Win2k with
all the updates btw and if it means anything I'm using WMEncoder
Series 9

oh why couldn't they not just have included a load at windows start
and a run a windows start tick mark. Surely even the pros have power
failures.
