Are there specific reasons you went the hardware route? Better quality in some way?Steve Hargadonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17776685502090744803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676377.post-33369152931530830282007-10-03T18:06:00.000-07:002007-10-03T18:06:00.000-07:00In order to stream using my camcorder instead of webcam, I used a Pinnacle 710-USB. It's great - allows pretty much any kind of video device to be connected to pretty much any kind of video input. <BR/><BR/>I'm still processing media, but you can find raw streamed archives and edited higher quality video from our UPEI webcast at http://www.edtechtalk.com/node/2319<BR/><BR/>Cheers, <BR/>JeffJeff Lebowhttp://jefflebow.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676377.post-84999116239128870912007-10-03T02:26:00.000-07:002007-10-03T02:26:00.000-07:00Steve--<BR/>Sorry I missed you for a test run..I ran ustream with my macbook camera AND skype with <A HREF="http://theconnectedclassroom.wikispaces.com/Google_Tools_BCIU_SJU" REL="nofollow">no problem</A>. The video quality was not nearly as clear as yours but the audio worked GREAT and it was fine for my purpose..to create an "audio" for a google presentation I was giving for a course. I had some technical stuff I too figured out on the fly but it does have amazing potential. I think an "on the fly" audio casting site (like world bridges) but on the fly is in order to go with google presentations--oh the possibilitiesKristin Hokansonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04644948722592900823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676377.post-44982578506103755962007-10-02T11:04:00.000-07:002007-10-02T11:04:00.000-07:00Ah, Chris, you are the master! :) Thanks for the tip.Steve Hargadonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17776685502090744803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676377.post-79011833683842920262007-10-02T10:43:00.000-07:002007-10-02T10:43:00.000-07:00Use splitcam, it's free and works fine. It took my panasonic with no webcam mode and made it work. Try it!Chris Crafthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14159705510161241672noreply@blogger.com
