When using Windows Media DRM the error message “2147024809 parameter incorrect” message has sprung up a few times. There seems to be very little documentation about what this is, but it appears to be something to do with downloading the DRM license using ActiveX. Opeinging up all of the security settings does not seem to make any difference, but after finding out that the machine in question was running Windows XP Service Pack 1, an upgrade to Service Pack 2 fixed the problem. I have not checked to see if the same problem occurs on any other computer running Service Pack 1, but hopefully this may be helpful to some people…

Streaming with IP cameras as mentioned in my last post is not normally very good when you want more than one person to see the stream The good news is that quite a lot of newer models have analogue outputs, so you can attach these to an encoding card through a BNC connector and then broadcast in your preferred format.

IP cameras were originally created for the surveillance industry, and are great for CCTV footage being viewed by a single person. They are not however really any good for webcasting for several reasons:
a) They normally require proprietary third party software to enable people to watch the video stream.
b) Not many have audio and those that do are not particularly good. One prime reason for this is that there are some legal issues surrounding recording peoples voices, and so whilst it is ok to video a burglar, you are not allowed to record anything that he/she says !!!
c) Every external user connects to your camera through your connection, which means that if several people want to tune in to see what is going on, the connection soon becomes saturated.
