Broadcast TV-tuner input

[Quewer]

Hi, I hope I've posted this the right place!

I wanna broadcast some shows from my TV-tuner, but the broadcast option in Windows Media Encoder isn't working. I get this flickered output picture, completely unwatchable. So i'm wondering if there's another way to do it? I'm looking for a program like Windows Media Encoder with the same options.

I'm having a Hauppauge PVR-150.

This is more of a hardware/software question so I'll transfer it to Applications for now. That is a busy forum and I'm sure one of our members or mod's will be able to help you out.

the broadcast option in Windows Media Encoder isn't working. I get this flickered output picture, completely unwatchable.It's working, that's what it's meant to do. In Media Encoder, the Broadcast quality is for broadcasting via the internet if I recall, so it will be fairly low quality.

There are other formats you can convert to aswell, like DivX, XviD, MPEG, etc. You can find encoders for each of those compression formats by searching the net.
I wanna broadcast some shows from my TV-tunerA TV tuner does not broadcast TV, it only receives it. You need a TV studio and an FCC license to broadcast TV over the air. Broadcasting via the internet or other network (aka Streaming) is done with specific software, and not a TV Tuner card - it can also be done in pretty much any video file format, with the right software.

You could probably find the right software if you searched for it (http://www.google.com/search?q=network+video+streaming). Check this (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/moviemaker/expert/bridgman_02march11.mspx) out also.

I know that, but we are a group of friends who are streaming with WME, and when they stream it's a perfect picture, but when i try the output is horrorble (we are streaming shows from our tv-tuners).

I'm just asking if you know another program like WME, I've all ready searched and didn't find anything.

Like I said, if you specifically need WMV format streaming (and need something to convert to WMV), you need WME since it's a proprietry codec, but if you just want to stream, there are other streaming applications/video formats available. VideoLAN (http://www.videolan.org/), for instance, is an Open Source (free) video player that can play a lot of formats (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html) (including WMV) - it can also be used to serve (or receive) streaming video of any of those formats.
