SM tries live streaming
« on: June 22, 2011, 03:59:10 PM »
I was bored this evening so I decided to try and live stream some RA2. Of course it wasn't live as no-one watched it but I have a few vids up of me failing badly. It's still work in progress so the sound is inconsistent and the video itself is very laggy. Oh well, check it out, might do a longer stream tomorrow morning.

Nothing is live so the player shows nothing. Click the link to get to my channel. There you can see previous vids.
EDIT: Wow, the vids are really choppy. Anyone got any ideas to make them smoother?

How are you recording these?  Is it possible to use a different recording program, say, Fraps?

IIRC when Ian did this its a website that just streams your whole desktop onto the webpage

So you start it then open RA2 fullscreen..

I'm using VHScreenCapture which recommended by someone I know who streams nearly everyday. Then I use Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder to upload it.

I'll look into it, do you know what he used?

He uses the same website just a different recording program. The one I use is very similar though.
