scroll down to the web streaming section.

You need the latest version of the enhanced web admin installed and you need VLC on both the server and the client. Open up the 7648 port on the server firewall for streaming.

More info in the EWA thread in developer forum.

You open direct.ini and set OutputType=11 for VCD or OutputType=12 for SVCD. Set this in the appropriate profile section of the file.

After some testing with my PVR-500, I found that
OutputType=11 does indeed record using MPEG-1, but at the wrong bitrate and resolution to be VCD-compliant.

And OutputType=12 records using MPEG-2.

Ok, well set the bitrate and resolution correctly then. I've never played around with VCD/SVCD, so I couldnt tell you what these bitrates should be set to.

And OutputType=12 records using MPEG-2.

Yes, thats correct. An SVCD stream is MPEG-2. 12 is the correct stream type for an SVCD. Like you discovered above with the MPEG1 bitrate being incorrect, you'll probably need to set it to use a valid SVCD bitrate.
