Stream AVI files?

mikelc2 · 17th December 2003, 04:47

I have no idea where to start, so I need some advice. I lookd at the tutorials and i'm totally confused. I have a shoutcast server, and I have winamp. I have NSV, but that's all, and I want to broadcast AVI files, without having to encode them.

Is there any way that you can play avi files in some program, and have NSV capture that as a device, or make a virtual cam and play avi files in it.

Someone please help, i'm totally lost!

The files need to encoded to NSV first and then streamed using nsvscsrc.

camtasia

softcam as well

What is that? Could anyone direct me? I don't know how to encode them, the server i am using is remote, and I only have access to it through connecting through shoutcast.

I installed Softcam and there is nothing about bradcasting, you have to add all of the files one by one... and yah.

Only lets yet save a file.

Sorry, read that wrong. Softcam is a virtual cam software that lets you emulate having a web cam. You cant use that
for playing AVI movies.

Go with what the others suggested, camtasia.

SoftCam does allow you to use AVI streaming. But it does not send the sound through

It actually send the avi through at good quality without a lot of buffing, unlike streaming a NSV file.
Shame about the sound :/

I will have to try camtasia and get back to you, but i heard it was just for screenshot/recording?

I installed it and it isn't doing much for me.

How do you go about doing this with camtasia?

I tried using nsvenc and I use cap then it lists the video and audio sources.. I select camtasia (0) and my audio card (0). Then when I connect I get audio but no video eventhough the avi is playing in camtasia studio.

Any ideas?
