Windows Media Encoder
To encode live content, the computer on which you install Windows Media
Encoder must contain:

a.. A sound card to encode audio
b.. A video capture card to encode video (optional)
You do not need either of these cards to encode an .avi, .wav, or .mp3 file
to an .asf file.

The input jacks on the audio and video cards receive the live data and then
transmit it to Windows Media Encoder. For example, to multicast a live
speech, you must plug the output from a video camera into the input jack on
the video card and plug the output from the microphone into either the audio
input jack on the video card or the input jack on the sound card (whichever
card the encoder is going to use). The encoder acknowledges these input
sources, receives the input, and encodes the audio and video into an ASF
stream that is then delivered to a Windows Media server.

If you are planning to use multiple bit rate video to encode live content at
multiple bandwidths, your encoding computer's processor must meet the
following minimum requirements:

a.. Dual Processor Intel Pentium II operating at 266Mhz
b.. Single Processor Intel Pentium II operating at 400Mhz
For the best results when encoding live content at multiple bandwidths, the
following processors are recommended:

a.. Single processor Intel Pentium III operating at 450Mhz
b.. Dual Processor Intel Pentium II operating at 400Mhz
