Re: limiting player connections message ?

Another advantage of this approach is that you could edit out the dross, add
stills, narration, music, titles, video & stills from other folks etc
etc....

Of course if you feel confident you can do a live stream with WME and save
to file and use the saved file to produce a edited version later in WMM...

One further thought - from rereading your post - why not just play safe
and capture with Windows Movie Maker at the highest quality your webcam
can produce - then compress it into small, medium and large versions -
upload these to a website where others can download it depending on their
connection speeds - then they will also have a saved copy that they can
keep?

I'll send you a private email with an example of what I've done in the
past...

Hello List,

I'm still trying to refine how we are going to broadcast our school's
high
school graduation.We had originally intended on broadcasting it "live",
via Windows Media Services to the internet for people that could not
attend , say grandpa & grandma. I think we have decided to show it
"delayed" so in case several people, say grandpa & grandma that can't
make
it, would try and watch it "live" the server gets pulled down, and the T1
line becomes saturated,and everyone gets all frustrated that it did not
work. So my question is,when showing this video afterward , if I limit
the
maximum number of player connections to say 10 for this publishing
point,,
and the 11th person/player tries to connect, do they get a message saying
"The maximum number of connections have been reached, please try back at
a
later time". or something similar? I searched in the Help notes with
Windows Media Services but there is not indication of this, & I guess
I've
never run into this scenario before? I've decided on publishing /Encoding
at 148kbps 320x240x15fps. I posted a message on this yesterday and have
rethought, & I m sure I'll rethink it again. We are running the
encoder/webcam on a 2.4ghz, 512MB ram to WMS server with 2.0 ghz, with 2
gig of ram 100 MB nic's. Any info appreciated.

TIA
