Peter, not sure if it's a bug in WME 7.1, or something else..

Three more things you can try!

1) Ask in microsoft.public.windowsmedia.encoder (on news.microsoft.com) for
some help on this error!

I've been reading some messages and it seems MS doens't have an
answer.

2) See if this will also happen when you are (as test) only streaming audio!
3) Maybe give the new WME 9 a go (it WILL take more CPU load!)

WME 9 doesn't run with W98SE. (Tried that)
What I'm going to do is expand RAM from 128 - 512 mb.
I need more memory anyway.
The funny thing is that the error occurs at random. You really can't
say when it happens. One time it occurs within miutes after starting a
session, and, for example, I had it running all afternoon today
without any problems.

Anyway... I've been using WME 7 and now 9 for over 3 years, and I've never
had your error!

I've been looking at your webcam quite a few times.
Actually your setup gave me the idea to do it the same way. The moment
you get the hang of it, and understand the basics, it is quite simple.
No java applets, no third parties involved. Pretty straight forward.

Good luck!

Thanks. Keep you posted.

Groeten
Peter

One remote possibility is that the problem might be caused by
memory errors. You might try running memtest86 for a few
cycles. It's a free download from http://www.memtest86.com.
