I was wondering if anyone on board knows their way in streaming video, while it's been recorded (real time, or close to), and anything like that. For broadcast, or multicast, not a simple webcamera thingy...
If so, do PM me, or e-mail me. I'd like to go private on this. Sorry :-X
Just for the record, when I was looking for something that would stream movies among a few friends I stumbled on Videolan (http://www.videolan.org/). It took some time to set up, but after that, it worked a treat. :)
We all know what you mean with your "private live broadcasts". You're not fooling me and I'm not paying.
LOL!
It didn't occure to me that anyones' mind would go there! It's NOT that (xxx or anything), ok? ::)
You dirty minded person you! haha
Not really sure what you want to know about this whether it's a site you're looking for or just info on files... I doubt I have the info you need, but if it's the first then I have a basic knowledge of free live streaming. I use Ustream.tv with my camcorder. It's free, and just runs through Flash applet which is great - you can include scrolling text and put YouTube videos all over your output screen.
There's about a 2 second delay from capturing to broadcast on the web-users end.
When your show is off-air you can leave a background slideshow or still link to YouTube vids I think. When you go "on-air" you can choose to Record the show and I'm sure anyone with a decent connection & bndw allowance would be able to record a good hour or 2 of streaming footage, which can then become the video of choice when you're off-air. Your "channel" can be embedded onto any web-page and is roughly the size of an embedded YouTube video.
The only thing I was looking for extra to that really was the ability to line up videos on your hard-drive or even just YouTube and have them play over the top of your stream when you're live. I'm not entirely sure about mixing either, between video channels - I don't think it's possible. If you wanted to try 3 cameras you'd probably find yourself clicking the "Which camera device to use?" button during live broadcasts and changing it everytime to your camera of choice - and praying that works; there sadly is really no multi-camera control with Ustream.
There are a couple of other sites I've tried, which were pretty basic and naff, but I'm sure there are a good few more I hadn't tried which might offer more. Naturally there are plenty of commercial packages for this, and no doubt a bundle of software out-there to set it up for you personally. $$$$$$how me the money!
Hope that helps a bit? You can always PM me if you think I might have more info :) I've been using streaming video formats for yeaaars but only recently tinkered with live broadcasting. But without going commercial & probably incurring licenses, there aren't many ways to broadcast my own 'streaming' videos. But I can always sit in front of a camera & chat rollocks live! And anything a camcorder can output, so can Ustream - and that's pretty neat in my eyes because it's not that hard to get material onto DV tapes.....
Good luck!
I have no idea about making your own streams, but I think www.justin.tv let's you do that.
Not that I condone such activities, but I have been known to stumble across justin.tv and www.atdhe.net for the occasional football match or if I've been too impatient to wait for Lost to appear on Sky1. I may or may not have used these sites to watch them as they they were being screened on their respective TV stations.
