Author Message   Curt Wayne Citizen Username: Cswayne Post Number: 160 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, May 10, 2004 - 4:45 pm:        I've all ready discussed this with Jamie but, I thought I'd throw the question out to others too to see if anyone has any good advise. We want to be able to broadcast live music and video of a performance over the web (needless to say) at a reasonable price. I'm sure there are quality/price trade-offs but I'm just into investigating what they are right now. Anyone have the inside scoop on this? Thanks, Curt   woodstock Citizen Username: Woodstock Post Number: 627 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 12, 2004 - 11:45 am:        There are expensive packages you can buy (e.g. realone server) for streaming, or you can use something like ShoutCast, which is a low end tool for streaming audio (not sure about video). Check out http://www.shoutcast.com. Though it looks like you can only stream pre-recorded audio, there are ways to do live audio streaming as well. Streaming video over the Internet (as opposed to internally within a company) is a pretty high bandwidth app, even for a hosting company. You might want to check with your upstream provider to see if they have any possible solutions. Hmm.. just found this while doing a web search... http://www.thebook.com/realaudio.html Looks like they will do hosting, and you can do some amount of streaming free, depending on the bitrate and number of concurrent connections.
