I'm serving a live webcam ~20 FPS with Windows Media Encoder 9. The rig is an old Athlon Thunderbird 900Mhz on an Asus AV7 mobo w/ 512 MB of PC133, and it's over a cable modem.
I'm encoding & broadcasting live with:
Audio: WMA9 codec, 44khz mono CBR, 20kbps
Video: WMV9 codec, 20fps, 241kbps, key frames @ 1 sec, 1 sec buffer, image quality =70, size = 160 x 120
So around 260 - 270kbps total. There is a pretty annoyingly long buffering delay to begin with (like 10 - 15 seconds), so once the action begins it's at least 15 seconds behind reality. Everything is all fine and good, unless you keep watching for a while. After a few minutes the sound and the video start to get out of synch.
Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong? Here's the site in case you wanna see:

I've been kind of considering finding some better software for serving this video stream. If you have had any good experiences with any of that stuff, any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for reading! :beer:
