Hi,

I have absolute no experisnce with multimedia. I was looking in MSDN for
documentation that would help me to start.

What I want to do is to push the live video captured by a cam or webcam to
the Windows Media Server over the Internet and play this video live or on
demand.

Could you please navigate me to the good source of information? I was
looking for a book at Amazon, but so far no luck.

What is the latest version of Windows Media Services? I was reading MSDN
documentation for version 9, than I found on other place in MSDN the version
number 11. So I am not sure I started to learn the current version.

Thank you,

Lubomir

You can usually use Windows Media Encoder on your local PC to push
that to the server account ("publishing point") which you've set up :

The windows media resource kit should be a good start, it's fairly
dated now but contains lots of related info too :
