I'm not much of a writer... but here are basic instructions on how to start streaming with Windows Media Encoder.

Capture device: I have found through a lot of trial that the best picture quality and framerate can be achieved with the Hauppauge USB2 device. It will blow away any BT 848 or 878 based card. It will also lower the cpu requirement for encoding.

Open Media Encoder

Click on New Session
Select Broadcast Live event
Select your proper video and audio device (also configure your video device for composite input)
Pull from the encoder
HTTP Port.... this is the port number you will have to open in your router so others can see your stream. I use 8081.
