Alternative to Windows Media Encoder 9

[hardtarget]

I try to capture content from my tv card but windows media encoder 9 freezes,
its a common problem that windows media encoder doesnt support tv cards that are WDM.

To be specific i need to stream WMV content from windows media encoder to my server

You mean that Windows Encoder doesn't support WDM?

yes

windows media encoder 9 doesnt support tv cards with WDM drivers

InterVideo WinDVR is one you can try. Not free, unfortunately.

I have an AIW 9600 pro that has a TV Tuner. After fighting with ATi's software for years, I finally bit the bullet and went hunting for alternatives. None of the free ones I tried worked very well (or at all) with this card using WDM drivers.

I gave this a try, and it seemed to work: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1177441133965

It ain't cheap, though.

Here's a free one I just came across with a quick google search: http://www.download32.com/msdvr-2000-i18089.html

none of them have the function of streaming/broadcasting my content though,
or did i miss one of their features?

You weren't specific as to what you were using WME for...it does a number of things. I assumed simply acting as a DVR.

Although, you may want to look into something like that. There's a few freeware and opensource packages out there you could try out and see if you like.
