Streaming LIVE Project 1999

Xfire is a good one to use if people don't like twitch. I've used it in the past with eq and it worked pretty good.

What program do you guys use to actually stream that stuff? Does Twitch provide one or ?

Was looking into using it for some of the stuff I do, if anyone has a better idea how it works.

Rogean looking to stream the intensely interesting "avoiding patching P99."

I've been using fraps lately but recording in 1080p even at 30 fps is consuming upwards of 40 GB of disk space for a 15-20 minute video.. the guys using twitch have to be using something else because they record and stream hours of gameplay at a time.

(Obviously I compress those fraps videos later)

I know on xfire it has two options. You can record it and then post it, and it will eat your space, or just do it live and no space is used up. It was pretty nice with in game activation to toggle on or off. I've been able to do it for any game I've played.

It's also based on your bandwidth when you want play it live. You can select lower grade to high to cut down on the lag with it.

Camtasia works very well and supports all the rigth codes natively etc.

I guess it all depends on the compression it uses during recording

XSplit is pretty much the streaming software of choice. It hooks up with any of the popular streaming services. It costs money to stream in a good quality but the free version works.

http://www.twitch.tv/broadcast has a list of software you can try.

Give PlayClaw a shot for recording videos. It is able to compress on the fly. 10 minutes 1080p get saved around 5-10GB.

I am also still looking into the best option for streaming content.

Could you stream on a calculator without a loss of performance? My laptop isn't up to much but would love to give it a try if it doesn't cripple it :P
