It's more of setting up a broadcast server for video frames. So u can try VLC media player or similar s/w to setup one.

Yes, most definitely. If your card is supported then Windows Media Encoder is the easiest way. It's a bit tricky to configure and can be a hit and miss effort. But if you manage to get it working, trust me it's the best (I don't say good things about MS very often. :lol: ). Once you start streaming all you have to do is tell users to connect to your PC using WMPlayer with your URL:port number.
