hi, i know this might sounds like it should be in the communications forum but i know how to send information. the part im stuck on is how do i take a picture from a picture box and convert it to something that can be streamed. then when it gets to the other side, how can i make it display it in a browser window?

From the title of this thread it looked like an AVI question, but since you say you are working with picture boxes (possibly with multiple images that may need to be animated), I think you best bet is using Gifs. Creating gifs on the fly in VB is not easy, but there is OnErrOrs GDI+. Here's some links to get you started:

thanx for replying, anything is a start. just to make it clear. the pictures in picture boxes will change a few times per second depending how fast my PC is. i want to send that picture to a web browser as soon as its ready. i want to do this to get the picture from my webcam. maby theres a better way than putting into piccy box and sending. and i need it to be a LIVE video stream
